Discovering Your Inner Fish --Human DNA Traced Back to Marine Origins (Today's Most Popular)
Have you ever felt like you're really a fish?
The famous phrase has it that evolution is a process of the “survival of the fittest.” However, it should be noted that this doesn’t imply some great evolutionary gymnasium, with species pumping and sculpting themselves into the most sexually appealing shapes of the day.

Nearly all marine fish came from freshwater ancestors
I’m sure that most of us think that marine fish evolved in the sea, but a new paper by Greta Vega and John Wiens in the Proceedings of the Royal Society (B) says that that just ain’t so.
The term “evolution” is commonly thought as the process that leads to diversification of species or to gradual change in certain characteristics of living organisms.

But in the most massive extinction of all, when most of everything that lived died out some 250 million years ago, a more subtle form of destruction has been suggested.
The dodo ( Raphus cucullatus ), an extinct flightless relative of the pigeon has today come to symbolize the stupid, clumsy or obsolete.

Discovery of a 160-million-year-old fossil represents a new milestone in early mammal evolution
Aug. 24, 2011 — A remarkably well-preserved fossil discovered in northeast China provides new information about the earliest ancestors of most of today's mammal species -- the placental mammals. According to a paper published August 25 in the journal Nature , this fossil represents a new milestone in mammal evolution that was reached 35 million years earlier than previously thought, filling an important gap in the fossil record and helping to calibrate modern, DNA-based methods of dating the evolution.
