- Evolutionary Discovery Links Human Vision and Sleep Rhythms to a 600 Million Year Old Cyclopean Ancestor
Published: Apr 27, 2026
Section: Research
Researchers from Lund University and the University of Sussex have identified a single-eyed, worm-like organism as the common ancestor of all vertebrate vision. The study reveals t...
- Dominant Green Hulk Lizards Erase Millions of Years of Evolutionary Color Diversity
Published: Apr 27, 2026
Section: Natural Sciences
Researchers at Lund University have discovered that an aggressive green variant of the common wall lizard is rapidly outcompeting other color morphs. This shift has caused the disa...
