Scientists discovered over 700 fossils in China that prove complex animals existed millions of years earlier than we thought. The find rewrites our understanding of when life on Earth became truly diverse.
Scientists discovered over 700 fossils in China that push back the timeline of complex animal life by at least 4 million years. The find includes early ancestors of starfish, worms, and even animals with backbones from a time period when they weren't supposed to exist yet.
Scientists discovered over 700 fossils in China showing complex animals thrived 15 million years before we thought possible. The find includes ancient jellyfish relatives, starfish ancestors, and bizarre worm-like creatures that rewrite our evolutionary timeline.
China's top political leaders just issued unprecedented orders to "strictly control" fossil fuels and hold provinces accountable for clean energy targets. The rare dual-policy approach signals the world's largest emitter is getting serious about its climate promises.
Scientists in China have discovered ancient fossils that rewrite the timeline of when complex life began on Earth. The exceptionally preserved specimens show that major animal groups evolved at least four million years earlier than we thought.
Scientists in China discovered fossils proving complex animals appeared at least four million years earlier than we thought. The find rewrites our understanding of when life on Earth started getting interesting.
Scientists in China have uncovered nearly 9,000 fossils representing 153 species from an ancient ocean ecosystem that thrived after Earth's first mass extinction. The discovery is filling crucial gaps in our understanding of how life bounced back and spread across the planet.
Scientists discovered over 700 fossils in China proving complex animal life existed millions of years earlier than believed. The find includes early ancestors of starfish, worms, and even animals with backbones from 554 million years ago.
Chinese researchers discovered 550-million-year-old fossils that push back the timeline for complex animal life, including our earliest known ancestors. The find helps solve a longstanding mystery about how life evolved from simple organisms to the diverse creatures we see today.
For the first time, China is generating less electricity from coal and gas while renewable energy soars to unprecedented levels. The world's largest polluter is finally bending the curve on emissions, giving the planet a fighting chance.
Scientists discovered a new four-winged dinosaur that likely hunted ancient birds 120 million years ago, solving a mystery about crushed bird bones found in northwestern China. The barn owl-sized predator could glide through the air like a flying squirrel. ##

Scientists in China discovered over 700 fossils showing complex animals existed 15 million years earlier than we thought. The find bridges a mysterious gap in evolution and reveals our ancient ancestors appeared much sooner than fossil records showed.
China just crossed a historic threshold: more than half of its power generation capacity now comes from clean energy sources, driven by a decade of massive solar and wind investment. The world's largest carbon emitter is leading the global renewable revolution while racing to meet soaring electricity demand.
Scientists in China have uncovered 8,681 fossils from 153 species at a stunning new site, with nearly 60% never seen before. The discovery offers a rare window into ocean life after Earth's first mass extinction.
Forestry workers in China discovered over 1,000 endangered cycad trees spread across seven acres, the largest known wild population of this ancient species in the region. These rare plants, which have survived since the age of dinosaurs, offer scientists a window into Earth's distant past.
Scientists discovered 554-million-year-old fossils in China that reveal complex animals existed millions of years earlier than previously thought. The find transforms our understanding of how life evolved on Earth.
Scientists in China discovered a juvenile dinosaur with hollow spikes preserved down to individual cells, revealing body coverings never seen before. The 125-million-year-old fossil proves dinosaur skin was far more diverse than the "scales or feathers" model scientists long believed.
Scientists in China discovered the oldest known bony fish fossils, filling a crucial gap in understanding how fish evolved into land animals and eventually humans. The tiny 436-million-year-old fish reveals features that evolved much earlier than previously believed.
Scientists in China discovered the oldest near-complete bony fish fossil ever found, filling a massive gap in our understanding of how life evolved from water to land. This tiny ancient fish shows traits we thought emerged millions of years later.
Scientists in China discovered over 700 fossils proving complex animal life began 4 million years earlier than we thought. The find bridges a crucial gap in understanding how Earth's simple creatures transformed into the diverse animals we see today.
