Most of us have heard about the steady increase in CO2 in the earth’s atmosphere, sometimes called the Keeling Curve.1 Many have tied this current upswing to climate change, and many have blamed the burning of fossil fuels for this increase. But is it that simple?
A new study published in Nature has found that the weathering of certain rocks can be a major contributor to atmospheric CO2More...
A new study published in the Journal of Human Evolution has found that the so-called Homo naledi most likely didn’t bury their dead as previously proposed.1 Furthermore, the team of scientists concluded that Homo naledi probably didn’t use stone artifacts, make fire, or create cave art as has been suggested by paleoanthropologist Lee Berger.1
A few months ago, Lee Berge... More...
The fossil record clearly shows insects have always been insects.
In a recent study, researchers led by biologist Richard J. Knecht, a Ph.D. candidate at Harvard, wrote:
[We] describe an endophytic [an organism that lives within a plant] trace fossil found on a Carboniferous seed-fern leaf that represents the earliest indication of internal feeding within a leaf. The 312-million-year-old Carb... More...
Did your shoulders evolve from ancient fish? Creationists would say no, because we don’t have fish ancestors.1,2,3
However, research from the Imperial College London states, “A new analysis of the bones and muscles in ancient fish gives new clues about how the shoulder evolved in animals—including us.”4
Are these new clues valid?
Let’s first look at evoluti... More...
