    Scientists solve the mystery of why T. rex had such short arms

    Rather than asking what the T. rex’s short arms evolved to do, The question should be what benefit do those arms have for the whole animal?

    Finally an answer to the fundamental question of how life on Earth began

    The missing link isn’t a not-yet-discovered fossil, after all. It’s a tiny, self-replicating globule called a coacervate droplet.
