Brown papers reveal widespread, hardworking water on ancient Mars
For decades, scientists have theorized - romanticized, even - that Mars has harbored water. The evidence has grown stronger as recent missions to the Red Planet have revealed in stunning detail Martian topography, mineralogy and clues to past climate. But how much water, where it was or is located and what it was doing have been hard to pin down. view more (2008-07-17)
Scientists discover ancient protein and DNA sequences in same fossil
For the first time in the world, researchers at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, along with collaborators at the University of Oxford, Harvard University, and Michigan State University have uncovered two genetically informative molecules from a single fossil bone. In addition to the recovery of mitochondrial DNA, the complete sequencing... view more... (2002-11-12)
Canada's shores saved animals from devastating climate change
The shorelines of ancient Alberta, British Columbia and the Canadian Arctic were an important refuge for some of the world's earliest animals, most of which were wiped out by a mysterious global extinction event some 252 million years ago. view more (2008-10-01)

Texas A&M scientists say early Americans arrived earlier
A team led by two Texas A&M University anthropologists now believes the first Americans came to this country 1,000 to 2,000 years earlier than the 13,500 years ago previously thought, which could shift historic timelines. view more (2008-03-24)
Prices of cigarettes now cheaper in real terms than 10 years ago
Cigarettes cost less in real terms than they did 10 years ago, finds research in Tobacco Control. Cigarettes are now cheaper in the UK than they were in the 1960s. view more (2002-03-07)
Great Lake's sinkholes host exotic ecosystems
Researchers are exploring extreme conditions for life in a place not known for extremes. As little as 20 meters (66 feet) below the surface of Lake Huron, the third largest of North America's Great Lakes, peculiar geological formations-sinkholes made by water dissolving parts of an ancient underlying seabed-harbor bizarre ecosystems where the fish... view more...

Discovery of vestiges of the first settlements in central and eastern Micronesia
Who were the first inhabitants of Micronesia? When did they settle there? Remains of such inhabitation are abundant enough in the western isles of Micronesia, but up to now that has not been the case for islands in the centre and in the east of the group. Archaeological excavations on the Ahnd and Pamuk atolls, not far from the Isle of Ponape have... view more... (2000-11-17)

Climate change triggered dwarfism in soil-dwelling creatures of the past
Ancient soil-inhabiting creatures decreased in body size by nearly half in response to a period of boosted carbon dioxide levels and higher temperatures, scientists have discovered. view more (2009-10-07)
Uprooting and replanting the tree of life
A new theory on the evolution of ancient microbes is set to challenge widespread scientific views of early life on earth and could overturn previous interpretations of the huge bank of molecular taxonomic data that has been built up in recent years, according to research published today in the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary... view more...
