Asteroid breakup may explain inner solar system bombardment 800 million years ago

A Southwest Research Institute-led study has proposed a connection between a specific collision in the main asteroid belt and an inner-solar-system-wide bombardment episode that may have had measurable biological and geological consequences on Earth. The research suggests that th

Link between parents' and children's weight is mostly genetic, study finds

The association between parents' body mass index (BMI) and their children's childhood BMI may be primarily due to genetic inheritance rather than any direct biological effect of parental weight during pregnancy, according to a new study published in PLOS Medicine by Tom Bond of t
