Why we are here: Double membrane prokaryotes! Say Again?
Written By: William Atkins

A NASA-funded study has hypothesized that about 2.5 billion years ago two types of single-celled microbes came together to produce a new organism that was (for the first time) able to take in sunlight to produce oxygen. At a time in which Earth did not have oxygen in its atmosphere, this newly formed creature produced oxygen and, subsequently, made it possible for humans to exist.

In what is being hailed as the largest potential advance in the evolutionary theory in over eight decades, Australian scientists with Murdoch University are calling transposable elements (TEs), or junk DNA, a key ingredient in the continuing survival of species. They also hypothesize that it resolves a discrepancy in the current evolutionary theory.

Charles Darwin published his work On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection in 1859. We are still discussing it, and sometimes fighting over it, now 150 years later. The Pew Forum adds to the rational and logical discussion of evolution versus creationism, or, simply, how we got here.

A little flat-headed frog from Borneo, thought to be extinct, has been re-discovered. And, the most interesting thing about the frog is that it is an amphibian but does not have lungs for breathing, but instead breathes through its skin.
