Most complete Homo habilis skeleton ever found dates to more than 2 million years ago and retains 'Lucy'-like features

Scientists have successfully sequenced the genome of the woolly rhinoceros, a species that has been extinct for thousands of years, from remains discovered in the stomach of a naturally mummified Pleistocene wolf pup. This significant finding sheds light on the dietary habits and ecological interactions of these ancient species during the Pleistocene epoch.

Scientists have successfully sequenced the genome of the woolly rhino using a specimen preserved in Siberian permafrost, revealing insights into the extinction of this giant mammal. This high-quality genomic data provides a clearer understanding of the species' biology and the environmental factors that contributed to its decline.

Scientists have proposed that some of the over 6,000 exoplanets identified beyond our solar system may not be planets at all, but rather tiny black holes formed in the early universe. This hypothesis suggests a need to reevaluate how celestial objects are classified and understood.

Scientists studying Jurassic rocks in China have discovered that cyclical changes in Earth's orbit have influenced both climate and the formation of shale oil reserves. This finding highlights the intricate relationship between planetary movements and geological processes.
