Last year, one of the biggest surprises of 2008 in the field of biological evolution was the discovery of the combo jelly being the first animal. The simple sponge was previously believed among scientists to be the first animal.
Now the combo jelly was a shocker because it’s way more complex than a sponge and generally [...]

The mystery of how certain marine animals like sea turtles and salmon which are able to locate their birthplace over long distances, have puzzled many scientists. I remember myself as a kid, watching a nature program about sea turtles. It was quite an amazing documentary.
Salmon and Sea Turtles have an ability to detect the Earth’s [...]

Out of all the places where marine life once lived, to find them in tree sap located in a forest was quite surprising for French scientists who are evolutionists. The discovery contained in a November issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences called; Evidence for marine microfossils from amber.
“…the discovery of marine microinclusions [...]

For many years since Darwin’s time, it was believed that the simplest forms evolved first, but what has been discovered has challenged that sort of thinking. Funding provided by the National Science Foundation helped evolutionary scientists using volumes of genetic data to try and determine the first animal.
What they found was the very first animal [...]
