In the guts of an ancient mummified crocodile, researchers have discovered a telltale bronze hook.
Up to 3,000 years ago, the 2.2-meter (7.2-foot) long crocodile died before it had even begun to digest a fish found intact around the hook in its stomach.



					
			

The human-made object and state of the carefully preserved animal suggest it was deliberately caught in the wild and processed as an offering to the Egyptian crocodile god, Sobek.
Luckily, the ancient Egyptians who prepared the croc's body for mummification didn't remove its guts, as was common practice for human mummies. This allowed a UK team of researchers to reveal...

A loss of controlled inhibition of overly excited brain cells might explain how a common knock-out anesthesia drug works. A new animal study led by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has found that propofol, a sedative used to safely lull people into unconsciousness for medical procedures, disrupts the brain's normal ability to regain control of highly excitable neurons.

Common Sedative Could Break Consciousness by Tipping Your Brain Into Chaos

Once upon a time, Earth was barren. Everything changed when, somehow, out of the chemistry available early in our planet's history, something started squirming – processing available matter to survive, to breed, to thrive.



					
			

What that something was, and when it first squirmed, have been burning questions that have puzzled humanity probably for as long as we've been able to ask "what am I?"
Now, a new study has found some answers – and life emerged surprisingly early.
By studying the genomes of organisms that are alive today, scientists have determined that the last universal common ancestor (LUCA), the first organism that spawned...

Without easy access to freshwater lakes, streams, and dams, roughly one out of every four humans depends on reservoirs beneath Earth's surface for survival. By the end of the century, tens to hundreds of millions could be deprived of even this tenuous supply of moisture as rising temperatures risk turning shallow groundwater supplies into toxic sumps.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds.

Gratitude May Help You Live Longer, Scientists Discover


The secret to pterosaurs taking flight long before birds and bats dominated the air was wasn't feathers or hollow bones.
Although those features no doubt helped, new research shows that a lattice-like structure stopped pterosaurs' broad-ended tails fluttering like flags in the wind and instead, once stiffened, helped guide these flying reptiles into the sky.



					
			

Pterosaurs took to the skies using powered flight about 215 million years ago, the first vertebrates to do so. Although they started out small, amongst their ranks were some of the largest flying animals in Earth's history.
Like birds, pterosaurs had feathers, but they weren't birds, nor were...
