The enigma of Italy's ancient Etruscans is finally unravelled
DNA tests on their Italian descendants show the 'tuscii' came from Turkey.
![At the end of the eighteenth century, the French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck noted that life on earth had evolved over long periods of time into a striking variety of organisms. He sought to explain how they had become more and more complex. Living organisms not only evolved, Lamarck argued; they did so very slowly, “little by little and successively.” In Lamarckian theory, animals became more diverse as each creature strove toward its own “perfection,” hence the enormous variety of living things on earth.

Quantum Entanglement Holds DNA Together
A new theoretical model suggests that quantum entanglement helps prevent the molecules of life from breaking apart.
![Here's a dangerous, crazy thought from an otherwise sober (and very eminent) biologist, Bernd Heinrich. He's thinking about moths and butterflies, and how they radically change shape as they grow, from little wormy, caterpillar critters to airborne beauties.
