Oldest Mars Meteorite Reveals Ancient Crust — and 13 Places to Find More
A rose-colored rock pulled from the Sahara in 2022 turned out to be one of the oldest Mars meteorites ever found. A NASA-funded study of Teghaza 001 has now decoded its 4.1-billion-year-old chemistry — and pinpointed 13 locations on Mars where similar ancient crust may still exist.17-Million-Year-Old Ape Skull in Egypt Upends Human Origins Story
A newly identified ancient ape species, Masripithecus moghraensis, discovered in northern Egypt's Moghra fossil site is challenging the long-held view that modern ape — and human — evolution was centered in East Africa, pointing instead to northern Africa as a potential cradle of hominoid origins.Fruit-Eating Dinosaur Fossil Reveals a Species Built Like a Parrot
Scientists have identified Infernogallus jamesi as the first known frugivorous dinosaur species, its fossil jaw structure so closely mirroring that of fruit-eating parrots that researchers say convergent evolution is the only logical explanation.Antikythera Mechanism’s 35 Gears Predicted Eclipses 2,000 Years Early
Hauled from a Greek shipwreck in 1901, the Antikythera Mechanism's interlocking bronze gears could predict solar and lunar eclipses with striking accuracy — making it the world's oldest analog computer by more than a millennium.Ancient Jesus Manuscript by Josephus May Be Authentic, Scholar Claims
A bold new book by scholar T.C. Schmidt challenges decades of academic caution, arguing that the Testimonium Flavianum — the oldest known non-Christian description of Jesus — is substantially authentic and not a later forgery.Fossil Scans Push Insect Flight Origins Back 80 Million Years
Advanced imaging of a pivotal fossil now suggests the creature preserved in it was never an insect, potentially pushing the accepted origin of insect flight back by as much as 80 million years to roughly 325 million years ago.Load More
