Human Adaptation to Heat Can ’t Keep Up With Human-Caused Climate Change
The last time the Earth was hotter than it is today was at least 125,000 years ago, long before anything that resembled human civilization appeared. Since 1970, the Earth’s temperature has spiked faster than in any comparable forty-year period in recorded history. The eight years between 2015 and 2022 were the hottest on record. In 2022, 850 million people lived in regions that experienced all-time high temperatures. Globally, killer heat waves are becoming longer, hotter, and more frequent. One study found that a heat wave like the one that cooked the Pacific Northwest in 2021 is 150 times more likely today than it ...

Half-billion-year-old sea squirt could push back origins of vertebrates, including humans
In 2019, a finger-size fossil landed on the desk of Karma Nanglu, a paleontologist at Harvard University who specializes in the Cambrian and Ordovician periods, when many of today’s animal forms made their entrance. The specimen had sat for years in the drawer of a Salt Lake City museum; its finders, who had pulled it from a fossil-rich layer of Cambrian limestone in western Utah, thought it might be a sea squirt or tunicate—a marine invertebrate that shares a distant ancestor with all vertebrates. Nanglu was excited but cautious at the prospect of a very ancient tunicate: “That’s a group for which there is essenti...

How Sunscreen Became Controversial
Wearing sunscreen every day sounds like a no-brainer piece of health advice. Research suggests regular sunscreen use reduces the risk of potentially deadly skin cancers like melanoma, as well as visible signs of skin aging. The American Academy of Dermatology states its position in no uncertain terms: Everyone should wear sunscreen every day they’ll be outside.
But there’s been mounting pushback to that idea in recent years, mainly due to concerns about the health risks associated with chemicals in many popular sunscreens. These days, it’s not hard to find sources—including influencers, marketers, c...

But using costly and Herculean measures to create new colonies, beekeepers are somehow keeping afloat. Thursday’s University of Maryland and Auburn University survey found that even though 48% of colonies were lost in the year that ended April 1, the number of United States honeybee colonies “remained relatively stable.”
Honeybees are crucial to the food supply, pollinating more than 100 of the crops we eat, including nuts,...
