Scientists uncovered a bizarre crocodile cousin from 215 million years ago that started life walking on all fours, then changed its entire stance as it grew — by adulthood it was standing upright and striding around on two legs
1+ week, 1+ day ago (470+ words) A crocodile relative in ancient Arizona underwent a radical transformation during its lifetime, shifting from four-legged crawler to upright biped—a developmental puzzle that rewrites what scientists thought possible for reptiles.

An unknown human lineage interbred with our ancestors in Africa more than 50,000 years ago — and although scientists still don't know who these humans were, traces of their DNA survive in every modern population studied.
1+ week, 6+ day ago (1147+ words) A new genomic method detected roughly 0.49% to 1.1% ancestry from an unidentified human population across five sampled groups. The signal points to mixing in Africa before the main out-of-Africa expansion, but it has not been matched to a fossil species. By…...
Dimetrodon — the sail-backed predator routinely mistaken for a dinosaur — first appeared roughly 60 million years before the earliest dinosaurs and was actually more closely related to humans than to T. rex.
3+ week, 3+ day ago (1080+ words) Dimetrodon lived in the Permian, before dinosaurs, and belonged to Synapsida, the same major evolutionary branch that later produced mammals.

More than 10 million years ago, South America had saber-toothed mammals, terror birds and giant snakes. But fossil evidence suggests even its apex land predators could become prey near the water, where the enormous caiman Purussaurus neivensis ruled.
3+ week, 4+ day ago (1377+ words) Four tooth pits in a terror bird's leg point to a 4.6-to-4.8-meter caiman, probably Purussaurus neivensis, but the fossil cannot distinguish a kill from scavenging. By Lachlan Brown · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published August 20, 2026 · How we edit Four shallow…...
