Spectacular fossil treasure trove pushes back origins of complex animals

A newly discovered fossil site in southwest China has transformed our understanding of how complex animal life emerged on Earth, revealing that many key animal groups had already evolved before the start of the Cambrian Period. The study, led by researchers at Oxford University’s Museum of Natural History and Department of Earth Sciences as well as Yunnan University in China, has been published today (02 April) in Science.

An analysis of genes associated with responses to burn injuries found that, of 94 total, at least 9 and as many as 19 show positive selection in humans but not in non-human primates. This suggests that human evolution has included adaptive responses to burn injuries.

Surviving Burns May Have Changed Human Evolution

Frequent burn exposure may have driven human genetic adaptations that improve healing but worsen severe injury outcomes. Humans may have been shaped in part by an unexpected force: repeated exposure to high-temperature burn injuries. New research suggests this long history has influenced how the

🧬🧠 Jo Cameron did not realize her lack of pain was unusual until she was 65 years old.

Scientists discovered she has a mutation in the FAAH-OUT gene that also speeds up her wound healing and eliminates fear. The case may provide researchers with a roadmap for developing new non-addictive pain medications and #anxiety treatments.

She Feels Absolutely No Pain—A Real Human Superpower. How Did She Go 65 Years Without Knowing?

She's one of only two people in the world who can't feel pain or fear, and scientists are excited. What could her gene mutation mean for the rest of us?

🪱🌊 New #research indicates that our eyes developed from a midline light-sensing organ in a primitive sea creature.

While our ancestors lost their original paired eyes while living as stationary filter feeders, the need for movement eventually triggered the #evolution of the complex retinas we use today. This process also led to the formation of the pineal gland, which regulates sleep cycles in modern #vertebrates.

Modern eyesight evolved from a worm-like creature that lived 600 million years ago

The loss and regain of vision happened between 600 and 540 million years ago
