New Study Traces T-Rex’s Origins to Asia and Links Gigantic Size to Climate Shift
A new study led by UCL researchers reveals that Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the most iconic dinosaurs, evolved in North America but descended from ancestors that migrated from Asia over 70 million years ago. The study also connects T. rex's enormous size to global cooling after a major climatic peak 92 million years ago. As other predators died out, ...

Study Reveals Ant Agriculture Began 66 Million Years Ago
A recent study reveals that ant agriculture originated 66 million years ago, following the asteroid impact that led to the dinosaurs' extinction. This event allowed fungi to flourish in the aftermath, as they thrived on decaying plant matter. It was found that while the initial partnership formed post-impact, ants did not develop advanced farming t...

Asteroid That Triggered Dinosaur Extinction Was a Carbon-Rich C-Type Space Rock, Study Finds
Recent research has provided new insights into the asteroid that struck Earth 66 million years ago, causing a mass extinction event that led to the end of the dinosaurs. Scientists have now identified this impactor as a carbon-rich "C-type" asteroid, a type of space rock that likely originated in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

If Dinosaurs Hadn't Gone Extinct, How Would Our World Look? Read On
Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid hit the Earth with the force of 10 billion atomic bombs and changed the course of evolution. The skies darkened and plants stopped photosynthesising. The plants died, then the animals that fed on them.

City-Sized Asteroid That Killed Dinosaurs Shook Planet For "Weeks To Months"
66 million years ago, a 10-kilometre asteroid hit Earth, triggering the extinction of the dinosaurs. New evidence suggests that the Chicxulub impact also triggered an earthquake so massive it shook the planet for weeks to months after the collision.
