Two Findings: Ancient migration from China to America and Japan; Modern marine ecosystems revealed by Biota.

Two groundbreaking studies have revealed new insights into ancient migrations and the recovery of marine ecosystems after Earth's largest mass extinction - May 12, 2023

Editor's Note:

Two groundbreaking studies conducted in China have challenged previous assumptions and revealed new insights into ancient migrations and life's recovery after mass extinction events. One study traced the maternal ancestry of certain Native American populations to northern coastal China, while the other discovered the Guiyang biota, a set of ancient fossils that suggest life rebounded quickly after Earth's largest mass extinction. These discoveries provide valuable contributions to our understanding of human and environmental history and highlight the importance of continued research in these areas.
