New "Timetree of Life" Initiative Illuminates the Antiquity of Life on Earth
Beginning this week, scientists and non-scientists have easy access to information about when living species and their ancestors originated, information that previously was difficult to find or inaccessible. Free access to the information is part of the new Timetree of Life initiative developed by Blair Hedges, a professor of biology at Penn State University, and Sudhir Kumar, a professor of life sciences and researcher at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute.
