What makes the Yahatinda special, according to Dr. Az, is that the formation is a remnant of the ancient river beds that once ran into a shallow marine basin on the edge of the sea.

Mass extinction events, such as the one that killed the non-avian dinosaurs, have shaped the course of life on Earth. Learn more about five of the biggest mass extinctions in Earth’s history—and about the one that is overtaking Earth today.

We need to work as Team Humanity to have a chance of attempting the near-impossible feat of engineering our very future, this time for the good of every single one of us — a real first for our modern, selfish times.

Trees produce fruit and provide shade. According to a study, trees are also capable of self-defense. Researchers have discovered the oldest evidence of plant self-defense in wood from a [...]

The map was built using research from Northern Arizona University and reveals that humans are just a blip in history, according to Ian Webster, the former Google engineer behind it.

The story of evolution spans over 3 billion years and shows how microscopic single-celled organisms transformed Earth and gave rise to complex organisms like animals

These fossils give unique insights into a very important time for plant evolution

An international team of scientists, co-led by Dr Carla J. Harper, Assistant Professor in Botany in the School of Natural Sciences at Trinity, has discovered the oldest evidence of plant self-defence in wood in a 360-million-year-old fossil from sout

An international team of scientists, co-led by Dr Carla J. Harper, Assistant Professor in Botany in the School of Natural Sciences at Trinity, has discovered the oldest evidence of plant self-defence in wood in a 360-million-year-old fossil from south-eastern Ireland.

Studying mass extinction events from the past can build our understanding of how ecosystems and the communities of organisms within them respond. Researchers are looking to the Late Devonian mass extinction which happened around 370 million years ago to better understand how communities of organisms respond in times of great upheaval.
