Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have made tremendous achievements in the fourth quarter of 2023.
An international team led by Institute of Vertebrate Palaeontology and Palaeoanthropology unraveled the mystery about when and how the largest ape on the Earth ever-known went extinct.
2023 marked the hottest year on record, driven by escalating ocean temperatures. The ocean's critical role in Earth's climate system, absorbing 90% of global warming heat, was underscored as the findings revealed a continual rise in temperatures, impacting weather patterns and marine life.
Researchers from the Institute of Earth Environment have shown that orbitally induced strengthening of the Asian summer monsoon played a key role in the dispersal of Homo sapiens from Africa to East Asia during the last interglacial period 125,000 to 70,000 years ago.
A recent study published in Cell has reported the generation of a live-birth chimeric monkey using a high contribution of embryonic stem cells (ESCs).
Researchers have discovered that a massive anomaly deep within the Earth's interior may be a remnant of the collision about 4.5 billion years ago that formed the Moon. This research offers important new insights not only into Earth's internal structure but also its long-term evolution and the formation of the inner solar system.
