New Fossil Evidence Shows Dinosaurs Flourished Until Their Final Days
Fossils from New Mexico’s San Juan Basin, dated to just 350,000 years before the asteroid impact, prove dinosaurs remained diverse and abundant until their sudden extinction. The study debunks the belief they were fading beforehand, showing a vibrant Late Cretaceous ecosystem teeming with hadrosaurs and sauropods.

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...
