Revealing Ancient Routes: The Influence of Fossils on the Climate

Climate-resistant potatoes in China, fossil footprints in Kenya that show early human cohabitation, and dinosaur supremacy discoveries from fecal relics that expand our knowledge of Triassic environments are all featured in today's science headlines.

Chinese scientists are creating climate-resistant potatoes by cultivating small samples in future climate scenarios to model how rising temperatures will affect food security.

Two extinct human species, Paranthropus boisei and Homo erectus, previously coexisted in Kenya, according to recently found fossil footprints, raising concerns about their relationships.

Using fossilized excrement and vomit to trace ancient food networks, new research from Poland reveals how dinosaurs gained control during the Triassic Period.
