Life on Earth had to begin somewhere, and scientists think that “somewhere” is LUCA—or the Last Universal Common Ancestor.

Until now, it’s been very hard for scientists to establish a detailed timeline of the early evolution of bacteria.

Bacteria used oxygen far earlier than expected, reshaping views on early life, evolution, and photosynthesis origins.

It’s long been thought that tectonic plates needed to dive beneath each other to create the chemical fingerprint we see in ...

Scientists have helped to construct a detailed timeline for bacterial evolution, suggesting some bacteria used oxygen long before evolving the ability to produce it through photosynthesis.

Researchers have made a new discovery that changes our understanding of Earth's early geological history, challenging beliefs about how our continents formed and when plate tectonics began.
