MIT Study: Meltwater Ponds May Have Cradled Complex Life When Earth Froze Over

Modern-day environments in Antarctica contain ponds filled with life forms that closely resemble early multicellular organisms. When Earth entered a deep freeze, where did life manage to survive? According to scientists at MIT, one possible refuge was meltwater pools scattered across the planet’s icy surface. In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers suggest that […] Read More
