New Archaeological Site Revises Human Habitation Timeline on Tibetan Plateau Human ancestors first set foot on the interior of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau around 30,000-40,000 years ago, according to new research by scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). This new finding moves back the earliest data of habitation in the interior by 20,000 years or more. 　　The research team ... Unique Early Cretaceous bird from China provides window into the early evolution of birds and flight A new extinct species of bird from a 127 million-year-old fossil deposit in northeastern China provides new information about the different evolutionary paths and experiments birds experienced during the early evolution of flight. Writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), Drs. Min Wang, ... New transitional fossils from China show how alvarezsaurian dinosaurs evolved monodactyl hand Digit reduction occurs many times in tetrapod evolution, and the most famous example is the 'horse series' of North America. An international research team announced the discovery of two new Chinese dinosaurs today: Bannykus and Xiyunykus, in the journal Current Biology, which shed light on how alvarezsaurian dinosa... Xinhua:Dinosaur fossils found in China may lead to rethink of ancient continents LONDON, July 24 (Xinhua) -- Fossils of a sauropod species have been newly discovered in China, which might change how researchers think these dinosaurs evolved, and how entire continents were linked 174 million years ago, according to a study released Tuesday by the Natural History Museum in London. 　　Researchers ...   32 Page(s)   FirstPrev678910NextFinal
