Posted on 18 August, 2026 by Mehrdad Fathi
For roughly 90% of Earth’s history, our planet belonged to microbes. The leap from single-celled bacteria to plants, animals, and fungi is arguably the most consequential transition in biology — and yet the fossil evidence for it remains remarkably thin.
Paleontologist Ross Anderson (University of Oxford) is working to change that. His team searches some of Earth’s oldest rocks for eukaryotic microfossils — the earliest cells with a nucleus and organelles like mitochondria. These “crown...
