New research led by a York University professor sheds light on the earliest days of Earth's formation and potentially calls ...

Scientists have discovered evidence that Earth's oceans were once green, hinting that this could be a marker of early life, ...

Penn State researchers propose that Earth and life have evolved together in a way that is more typical of life-supporting ...

"These findings highlight the deep connections between Earth's geology, climate, and the evolution of life itself.” The planet experienced at least two "extreme global glaciations" during the ...

Humanlike intelligence would then be a more expected outcome of Earth’s evolution, rather than a cosmic fluke. Researchers from a variety of disciplines, from paleontologists and biologists to ...

An international team led by researchers in Japan and Europe has discovered a new multi-planet system around a Sun-like star, ...

The team says that further research should investigate how cosmic radiation might have influenced evolution on Earth throughout history, which could help us in the hunt for life on other planets too.

However, the study does provide a particularly interesting piece of evidence that the cosmic goings-on in deep space may have had a more profound impact of the evolution of life on Earth than we ...

and the geologist who ten years ago was embarrassed by the shortness of the time allowed to him for the evolution of the earth's crust is now still more embarrassed by the superabundance with ...

A new study co-authored by researchers at Indiana University sheds light on how the forces that shape mountain ranges also ...

New research led by a York University professor sheds light on the earliest days of the earth’s formation and potentially calls into question some earlier assumptions in planetary science about the ...
