For more than a century, physicists have relied on two separate rulebooks to describe nature. Quantum mechanics excels at explaining atoms, photons, and every jiggle inside laboratories. Einstein’s general relativity, meanwhile, accounts for the way planets and stars bend the very fabric of space-time. Each framework is staggeringly accurate inside its own arena, yet they cannot be combined in a …

A new study published in Science reveals a startling chapter in human history. Around one million years ago, humanity was nearly wiped out. According to the research, our ancestors were reduced to just 1,280 individuals, leaving us on the brink of extinction. This genetic bottleneck, lasting over 100,000 years, changed the course of human evolution in profound ways, shaping the …

Technically speaking, every living thing on Earth can trace its origins to the sea. Some of these earliest creatures crawled onto land, evolving to become many different kinds of animals and insects—including, scientists believed for a long time, spiders and their relatives.  A new study published today in Current Biology challenges the popular conception that spiders first emerged on land, …
