Recent research led by the University of Bristol has made waves by pushing back the timeline of Earth’s earliest life form by ...

Modern continental rocks carry chemical signatures from the very start of our planet's history, challenging current theories about plate tectonics.

A groundbreaking new study has pushed the timeline of life’s origin further back than previously thought. Researchers have determined that the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) – the microbe from ...

Martin models the evolution of life on Earth in a few minutes using the visual aid of a walk through timeline. From 4.6 billion years ago when the Earth was red hot, the timeline illustrates the ...

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

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.
