Ants began farming fungi 66 million years ago post-dinosaur extinction: study
Ants began cultivating fungi approximately 66 million years ago, following the catastrophic asteroid impact that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs, according to a new study published in the journal Science. Researchers assert that this mass extinction created favorable conditions for ants to thrive, as they initiated farming practices
Breakthrough: Here’s where the Asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs came from
The catastrophic event that marked the end of the Cretaceous period, leading to the extinction of over 60% of known species, including non-avian dinosaurs, has now been traced back to its origins far beyond Jupiter. Geologists have identified the asteroid responsible for this mass extinction as a carbonaceous chondrite meteorite,
