Chicago Fossil Trips Up Conventional Origin Story

Chicago Fossil Trips Up Conventional Origin Story

According to the evolutionary narrative, life supposedly began as single-celled creatures that slowly became multicellular animals and plants. Through time, these evolved into a plethora of marine invertebrates (animals without a backbone), such as trilobites and sea stars. Over many more millions of years, invertebrates evolved into the first vertebrates—the fish. From these came amphibians like frogs, and eventually, fully terrestrial animals. But did these early four-limbed animals, known as tetrapods, really transition from fins to limbs?1,2

Daddy Longlegs: Going to Great Lengths for Fatherhood

Daddy Longlegs: Going to Great Lengths for Fatherhood

A male daddy longlegs may spend days guarding a cluster of eggs. He cleans them and drives away threats.1 A new study says this type of parental care arose many times through evolution.2 A report from the Linnean Society of London describes the research as helping explain the “origins of fatherhood.”3 Yet the study did not observe fatherhood coming into existence. Instead, it documented creatures that already had the senses, timing, and physical abilities needed to protect their young.

Lowly Spider Inspires Amazing 3D Camera

Lowly Spider Inspires Amazing 3D Camera

Who would have thought that an extremely energy-efficient 3D camera is in a large part due to a tiny jumping spider?

Engineers at Northwestern University wanted to create a “depth sensor that could be used in resource-constrained situations where users don’t have unlimited access to power.”1 To put together this special camera, they turned to the jumping spider for design inspiration.

Hot Water, Cracked Rock, but No Life

Hot Water, Cracked Rock, but No Life

Could an asteroid impact really spark life? A recent AGU Advances paper says early asteroid impacts might have cracked Earth’s crust and made large hot-water systems where life could have begun.1 But the main problem remains: the study gives a possible opportunity for chemistry to happen, but it doesn’t show how dead chemicals made the coded systems needed for life.
