A new technical report focusing on antibodies from Medieval human teeth also reported the discovery of antibodies from inside a wooly mammoth bone.1 Radiocarbon dating methods pinned tens of thousands of years to the mammoth fossil. Antibodies are relatively small proteins found in all kinds of body tissues. They contain a particular bond that should not last for eons. It seems that we lack some understanding either of antibody d... More...
Like all animals, “simple” invertebrates such as the jellyfish continue to amaze zoologists.1,2

Recently, researchers from the University of Sydney, University of Queensland, and University of Cambridge “have confirmed that human brains are naturally wired to perform advanced ca... More...
A giant “dinosaur age” trapdoor spider fossil has been unearthed from McGraths Flat in central New South Wales, Australia.
The Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society described the amazing preservation of fauna and flora of the McGraths Flat;
A newly documented Australian fossil site, named McGraths Flat, provides a rare glimpse into the rainforests that were once preva... More...
