Kotevski et al. (2025) describe new fossil material of theropods from the Lower Cretaceous Strzelecki Group and Eumeralla Formation , including the first carcharodontosaurian fossils from Australia, bones of large-bodied megaraptorids and a tibia of a member of Unenlagiinae. [35]
Reijenga & Close (2025) study the fossil record of Phanerozoic marine animals, and argue that purported evidence of a relationship between the duration of studied clades and their rates of origination and extinction can be explained by incomplete fossil sampling. [46] Maletz et al. (2025) revise Paleozoic fossils with similarities to feathers ...
Gelabert et al. (2025) study sedimentary ancient DNA from the El Mirón Cave , reporting evidence of presence of 28 taxa (humans, 21 herbivores and 6 carnivores), evidence of longer survival of leopards and hyenas in the Iberian Peninsula than indicated by fossil record, and evidence of the presence of a stable human population in the region of ...
This week, meet a big-brained ancient human relative, hear a meteorite as it lands on Earth, spot a tiny kangaroo-like marsupial, and more. Fossils found in China may add a new branch to the human ...
Many of these fossils had been overlooked because when they were first unearthed in the 1970s and 1980s, commonly held beliefs about human origins were vastly different from today’s theories.
A 1.4-million-year-old fossil jaw discovered in a South African cave in 1949 has now been identified as that of a previously unknown human relative species dubbed the “nutcracker man”.
Fossils from before the mass extinction have only been found around the Equator, but after the event fossils can be found all over the world. [13] Suggested explanations for this include: Archosaurs made more rapid progress towards erect limbs than synapsids, and this gave them greater stamina by avoiding Carrier's constraint.
The cave in question is 186 miles inland in northern Laos, opening up to many questions regarding timing and methods of human dispersal. The human fossils found in the layers of sediment were ...
