Discovering the Giant 50-Foot Snake: Vasuki indicus, a Prehistoric Serpent from India
Broke On: Thursday, 18 April 2024Researchers discovered the fossilized remains of Vasuki indicus, a 50-foot-long extinct snake species in India, making it one of the largest snakes ever found. Belonging to the Madtsoiidae family and distantly related to pythons and anacondas, this giant ambush predator lived around 47 million years ago in a warm climate. Its broad cylindrical vertebrae indicate a large body size, and its diet may have included ray fish, bony fish, turtles, crocodilians, and even primitive whales. The discovery sheds new light on ancient snake diversity and evolutionary history.

Discovering the Link Between Ancestry and Multiple Sclerosis: A Study Using Ancient DNA
Broke On: Saturday, 13 January 2024A study has found that genes which protected our ancestors from animal diseases now raise the risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) in modern humans. Northern Europeans are among those most prone to MS, correlating with the proportion of ancestry from a group of ancient pastoralists who introduced domesticated animals to Europe around 5,000 years ago. The study also revealed that genetic risk for having MS is linked to specific changes in environment and interbreeding patterns over time.
