Scientists have spent decades cataloging life on Earth’s surface, from rainforest canopies to ocean trenches. But a growing body of research now shows that a vast, hidden biosphere thrives kilometers ...

How do terrestrial planets like Earth form and evolve to enable life to exist? This is what a recent study published in Nature hopes to address as a pair of scientists from the Southwest Research ...

Study of 280 empirical papers suggests evolution is shaped by both individual advantage and competition between groups.

The transition from non-life to life was very likely aided by an asteroid hitting Earth, prebiotic chemistry, molecular ...
