The transition from water to land is one of the most remarkable chapters in the history of life on Earth. Over 360 million years ago, life began its slow but steady migration from the oceans onto dry ...

Soft-bodied Cambrian fossils found in the Grand Canyon reveals how early animals evolved complex feeding systems over 500 ...

As Harvard geobiologist Andrew Knoll explains it, at that time Earth was a “water world” with little land and low nutrient levels, conditions that retarded the evolution of life.

A new study in the International Journal of Astrobiology explores the possibility that proto-cell structures called vesicles ...

Cancer does not develop overnight. It can take decades for cancer-promoting changes in the genome to eventually lead to the formation of a malignant tumor. Researchers at the German Cancer Research ...

Unveiling ancient life: New method sheds light on early cellular and metabolic evolution Date: September 24, 2024 Source: Tohoku University Summary: Analyzing fossils can be difficult ...

The analysis reaches two conclusions that seem in conflict with each other, according to Aaron Goldman, who studies the molecular evolution of early life at Oberlin College and wasn’t involved in the ...

They have succeeded in reconstructing the evolution of cell clones, i.e., cell clusters derived from a single cell, in the human organism. SCIFER can detect aggressively growing clones at an early ...

“If you’re a single cell, you’re dinner. But if you can form large groups of cells, now you’re too big to eat.” The new findings highlight how physical forces influence biological evolution.

About 700 million years ago, enormous glaciers flowed across the Earth's surface in powerful frozen rivers like "giant ice bulldozers" that pulverized our planet's crust and may have contributed ...
