Study: Asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs allowed flowers to grow on the planet
According to a study, the giant asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period about 145 million to 66 million years ago left flowers relatively unharmed. In the aftermath, ancient flowers bloomed on a post-apocalyptic Earth. Details of the study were published in the journal Biology Letters. After an asteroid struck […]

STUDY: Chicken bones are proof that human activities and appetites can rapidly transform the natural world
A recent study suggests that chicken bones symbolize the abrupt transformation caused by human activity and appetites, which tipped the planet into a new geological epoch known as the Anthropocene, or the “era of humans.” Originating from the jungles of Southeast Asia, the red junglefowl became one of the first domesticated chicken species after humans domesticated it about […]

Asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs may have created the Amazon rainforest, study suggests
A new study suggests that the asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs likely gave rise to the Amazon rainforest in South America. Published April 1 in the journal Science, the study also posits that the same asteroid created all of the Americas’ tropical rainforests. Around 66 million years ago, a seven-mile-wide meteor struck what is now the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Named the Chicxulub […]

Study suggests the ice age was caused by global cooling after a giant asteroid collision in space
An international team of researchers suggests that a massive asteroid collision in space may have triggered the ice age 460 million years ago. In a study published in the journal Science Advances, the researchers said that the breakup of an enormous asteroid sent massive amounts of debris whirring through the solar system, shrouding Earth with a thick blanket […]

Human evolution occurred in ecosystems vastly different than those found today, suggest researchers
A recent study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that humans emerged from ecosystems that were markedly different from those inhabited by modern humans. Researchers from the University of Utah, the University of Massachusetts, Amherst (UMass Amherst) and Colorado State University examined fossil records of mammal communities dating back as far as seven million […]

Asteroid impact triggered the “impact winter” that likely killed dinosaurs 66 million years ago – study
According to a recent study, the asteroid that hit Earth 66 million years ago likely released an enormous amount of material into the atmosphere, leading to the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs and several other species. In their report, which was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, an international team of researchers examined sediment […]

Ancient reptilian vegetarians: Scientists discover fossilized teeth of extinct crocs that dined on plants
Modern crocodiles are known as apex predators – and rightly so. While these fearsome reptiles don’t primarily hunt people, estimates indicate that crocodiles kill about 1,000 humans per year. They kill more people per year than other fearsome animals like sharks and hippopotamuses. However, recent research shows that the crocodile’s ancient relatives, which lived around […]

Cosmic crash 12,800 years ago caused climatic changes, proving “climate change” can happen at any moment, far beyond our control
Nearly 13,000 years ago, Earth’s Northern Hemisphere got clobbered by a fragmenting comet. New evidence found by University of California Santa Barbara researchers suggested that the extreme impact event also affected the weather and ecology of the Southern Hemisphere. The Younger Dryas Boundary (YDB) Impact Hypothesis proposed that the comet strike triggered climate changes and […]

Lasting gift from the dinosaurs: They fertilized our ecosystem
Dinosaurs helped nourish the global ecosystem with their dung, and the effects continue to be felt to this day. This was the conclusion that Northern Arizona University faculty member Christopher Doughty came to in his compelling new study. With over a decade of experience in studying large animals and their impact on the planet’s fertility, […]
