New dog-sized dinosaur species discovered
Scientists have discovered a new species of dinosaur — one that was dog-sized and roamed what is now the United States around 150 million years ago alongside familiar dinosaurs like stegosaurus and diplodocus. The Enigmacursor mollyborthwickae, as researchers named it, was about the same size as a Labrador retriever, with a tail that made up about half of its length, according to a study published in the Royal Society Open Science on Wednesday.
Scientists discover evidence of extensive human fire use 50,000 years ago
Scientists have uncovered evidence indicating that humans extensively used fire to transform environments as early as 50,000 years ago -- far earlier than previously believed. An international team, led by researchers from the Institute of Oceanology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, analysed a 300,000-year-old sediment core from the East China Sea. Their studies showed a significant increase in fire activity across East Asia approximately 50,000 years ago.

Scientists witness first wild reproduction of Yangtze sturgeon after decades of conservation
The video footage was simple but extraordinary -- a tiny, half-translucent grey larva, no bigger than a grain of rice, wriggled out of its egg casing in the shallow waters of the Chishui River in southwest China's Guizhou Province. To an untrained eye, it might have looked like just another fish hatching. But for the team of scientists watching anxiously, this fragile creature represented something far greater: the first successful natural reproduction of the critically endangered Yangtze sturgeon in the wild in over two decades.
