- fluidfoundation, on 10/10/2007, -4/+35Wow did I read that title wrong at first.
- wonderchemist, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Is this really anything new? A very good argument can be made for the prokaryotes/archaea spilt before the evolution of bacterial photosynthesis 3.7 bya. That leaves only origin of eukaryotes in question. The article claims that (the 2.7 bya shale was) loaded with oily lipid remains of archaea. Which provides no additional evidence of when and how exactly the eukaryotes evolved. I personally favor the fusion hypothesis, several of the highly conserved proteins in eukaryotes point to different ancestries. For example, Hsp70 clearly groups eukaryotes and gram negative bacterial together. However, other highly conserved genes favor a clustering with the archaea.

...
>_> - AlphaEta, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Yep, I agree. The idea that all three domains were kicking around simultaneously 3 billion years ago is certainly not new. Perhaps this is the first experimental evidence to support those claims? I also agree that the order of emergence of archaea and photoautotrophs is also too close to call. Everything I've read puts both of them around 3 to 3.5 billion years ago.

AND PC. Damn they whored that game. Awesome game but the PC port was just unecessary. - Kikkoman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2err.. still much better than looking at pictures of ronald mcdonald eating someone's arm

- ccolanto, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2YEAHHHH Timmins is on the map.... and not by shania twain!!
- mccake, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1This sounds like the usual opening of Zombie type stories. Ancient organisms infect human and turn people to undead, crawling from the dark old mine.

- DrScott, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I dunno, it's like this: thousands of years ago this spaceship crashes, and this thing, whatever it is, jumps out or crawls out and gets entombed in the ice.
So, the Norwegians find it, and they dig it out of the ice... - peterinjapan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1So, they've struck a gold mine of ancient organisms? Or just a few? I am so confused.

- Telebio, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0The Doors were right!; "Weird Scenes inside the goldmine"

WTF is this: "Scientists have suspected that the three known domains of life -- eukaryotes, bacteria, and archaea"

- subwoffers, on 10/10/2007, -6/+1Am I the only one that thought it said " Ancient ORGASIMS discovered in Canadian gold mine" ?
