American scientists are trying to challenge the theory of evolution
Researchers at the University of Florida have decoded the DNA of the chain of combs. The sensation of this discovery lies directly in the fact that the nervous system of animals under the study has no analogues. In ctenophores, which are called “sea aliens”, there is no gene responsible for neural formation.
Previously, researchers believed that all animals evolved the same way, from the most ordinary network of nerves to the human brain. But geneticists from the United States, who studied the DNA of marine combs, concluded that evolution took place completely differently.
As it turned out, comb cells simply do not have genes responsible for the development of neurons. Basically, the chemicals that transmit nerve impulses were also not found in the body. This discovery will completely change the familiar classification of animals. Among other things, the uniqueness of the nervous system of the “experts” may be the basis for the search for drugs for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.
For reference: ctenophores live everywhere on our planet in salt water, and their size varies from a couple of millimeters to 1.5 meters. Their bodies are jelly-like. Paleontological findings show that ctenophores lived on Earth about 525 million years ago.
Now research on combs continues. Experts hope to find in the genetic code of these animals the key to rapid cell regeneration. If the search is successful, then humanity will be able to get a cure for old age.
Paleontologists have discovered a brain age of 500 million years American paleontologists have discovered a fossilized brain the oldest known to man. According to scientists, the brain belongs to an arthropod that lived 500 million years ago in the territory of the current Chinese province of Yunnan. Paleontologists note that the find is almost no different from the brain of modern insects. Experts say that this discovery proves the fact that after determining the main features and characteristics of this body, in the future
Dinosaurs, as scientists have found, are not extinct
Scientists from the Oxford Institute recently conducted a study to establish the fact of genetic changes in dinosaurs during their evolution. Based on the data collected by them during the first and small study, scientists were able to conclude that all dinosaurs that lived on Earth more than two hundred million years ago, not extinct, and became birds. The main purpose of the research organized by the group of scientists was the definition of
Einstein manuscript with alternative Big Bang theory discovered
Scientists have discovered and officially documented an unknown manuscript of Einstein, where the author proposes an unusual theory of the big bang. Irish physicists working in the walls of the Institute of technological research, was discovered unknown documentation of the great scientist with a legendary name, confirming the fact of the stationary position of the universe and its expansion. As it became known after careful study of the document, the universe is expanding at an infinite rate, but with an equal level of density.
