The study of palaeontology has long provided a window into the dynamic evolutionary history of dinosaurs and their avian descendants. Recent research has uncovered intricate details regarding the ...

The story of how dinosaurs came to dominate Earth has fascinated scientists and the public for generations. But what if we’ve been looking in the wrong places for their earliest ancestors? A ...

At the end of the Cretaceous, the duck-billed hadrosaurs were the most advanced herbivores on Earth. New research has revealed just how voracious these dinosaurs were, with their average tooth worn ...

Where are all the east coast dinosaurs? Where are all the east coast dinosaurs? Why don’t we find famous species like Triceratops in Central Park? Turns out, evolution and geology came together to ...

Rhinos’ evolutionary relationships became a little clearer with the sequencing of the oldest proteins yet. Researchers have described proteins that they say are among the most ancient ever sequenced.

The remains of the earliest dinosaurs may lie undiscovered in the Amazon and other equatorial regions of South America and Africa, suggests a new study led by UCL (University College London) ...

The mystery behind the origins of the dinosaurs may have been given a new twist, with a modeling study suggesting they may have evolved in what is today equatorial Africa and South America. This would ...

The extinction of the largest dinosaurs to walk the Earth may have played a critical role in creating an environment that helped fruits evolve, thereby indirectly shaping the evolution of our own ...

Researchers have described proteins that they say are among the most ancient ever sequenced. Two teams, which analysed molecules from extinct relatives of rhinos and other large mammals, have pushed ...

Chris Doughty, an associate professor in NAU's informatics department, was writing a paper for a conference and had the idea to test a theory about sauropods, forests and fruit. Doughty created a ...
