Description:

With the help of newly discovered skulls and skeletons that were unearthed in North America, Brazil, Argentina, and Madagascar in recent years, researchers have demonstrated that a group of dinosaur precursors, called lagerpetids, are the closest relatives of pterosaurs.Source: Paleontologists find pterosaur precursors that fill a gap in early evolutionary history ScienceDaily Was burial of the dead practiced by Neanderthals or is it an innovation specific to our species? Researchers have demonstrated, using a variety of criteria, that a Neanderthal child was buried, probably around 41,000 years ago, at the Ferrassie site (Dordogne, France).Source: Neanderthals buried their dead: New evidence ScienceDaily TakeawaysA “deep learning” software program from Google-owned lab DeepMind showed great progress in solving one of biology’s greatest challenges – understanding protein folding.Protein folding is the process by which a protein takes its shape from a string of building blocks to its final three-dimensional structure, which determines its function.Source: AI Tackles Protein Folding (And Wins) | Portside Our study on weird ancient marine animals called radiodonts supports the idea that vision played a crucial role during the Cambrian Explosion, a rapid burst of evolution about 500 million years ago.Source: Freaky ‘frankenprawns’: ancient deep sea monsters called radiodonts had incredible vision that likely drove an evolutionary arms race Researchers have identified host proteins and pathways in lung cells whose levels change upon infection by the SARS-CoV-2, providing insights into disease pathology and new therapeutic targets to block COVID-19.Source: Researchers determine how the SARS-CoV-2 virus hijacks and rapidly causes damage to human lung cells: Identify clinically approved medications that can be re-purposed for COVID-19 treatment ScienceDaily Recent scientific work strengthens and extends the arguments in Ian Angus’s pathbreaking book on fossil capitalism and the crisis of the Earth SystemSource: Facing the Anthropocene: An Update | Climate Capitalism
