Researchers uncover a new model of human evolution
In testing the genetic material of current populations in Africa and comparing against existing fossil evidence of early Homo sapiens populations there, researchers have uncovered a new model of human evolution -; overturning previous beliefs that a single African population gave rise to all humans.
Homo sapiens likely arose from multiple closely related populations -- ScienceDaily

Fossil of mosasaur with bizarre 'screwdriver teeth' found in Morocco -- ScienceDaily
Scientists have discovered a new species of mosasaur, a sea-dwelling lizard from the age of the dinosaurs, with strange, ridged teeth unlike those of any known reptile. Along with other recent finds from Africa, it suggests that mosasaurs and other marine reptiles were evolving rapidly up until 66 million years ago, when they were wiped out by an asteroid along with the dinosaurs and around 90% of all species on Earth.
Forest protection and carbon dioxide stored in biomass: New study confirms protected forests preserve equivalent to one year of global fossil fuel emissions through avoided emissions -- ScienceDaily
A study has found that worldwide protected forests have an additional 9.65 billion metric tons of carbon stored in their above-ground biomass compared to ecologically similar unprotected areas.
Remains of an extinct world of organisms discovered: Until now, certain biomarkers, the 'protosteroids,' have been overlooked as fossil witnesses to primordial life -- ScienceDaily
Newly discovered biomarker signatures point to a whole range of previously unknown organisms that dominated complex life on Earth about a billion years ago. They differed from complex eukaryotic life as we know it, such as animals, plants and algae in their cell structure and likely metabolism, which was adapted to a world that had far less oxygen in the atmosphere than today.
