  1. Evidence points toward solving evolutionary 'missing link'

    With long arms, high shoulder blades and powerful fingers, the ancient creatures were built for climbing trees. But they also had long lower limbs, flat feet and a flexible lumbar spine that gave them a distinct evolutionary edge: They could cover long distances by walking upright on two legs.

  2. Ocean wonders abound in Field Museum's 'Creatures of Light'

    It's dark in the rooms that hold the new exhibition at the Field Museum, dark almost like in the deep ocean where many of the featured "Creatures of Light" live.
    It's dark in the rooms that hold the new exhibition at the Field Museum, dark almost like in the deep ocean where many of the featured "Creatures of Light" live. It's dim enough to get you wondering if you, too, after enough time in an environment...

  3. Field has mulled selling artifacts

    When the Field Museum sold more than 30 works of 19th-century Western art for millions of dollars in 2004, it eased controversy by announcing plans to spend the proceeds on new artifacts and by holding on to four of the best paintings from the collection.

  4. 'Jurassic Park' paleontologist offers advice on ways of dinosaurs

    The blockbuster Steven Spielberg movie "Jurassic Park," being re-released in 3-D on April 5, wouldn't be the same place without paleontologist Jack Horner. In addition to advising the production on scientific matters, Horner provided inspiration for the...

  6. Exoplanet atmosphere offers clues about far-off planet's formation

    Astronomers have had great success using tools like <a href=&quot;http://kepler.nasa.gov/" target="_blank">NASA&rsquo;s Kepler space telescope</a> to peer into the heavens and find planets outside our solar system, but they haven&rsquo;t yet been able to describe those worlds in great depth. In large part, that is because they usually detect so-called exoplanets through indirect means &mdash; by observing how they obscure a tiny bit of light as they pass between their star and our vantage point, or how their gravity makes their host star wobble.&nbsp;

  7. Ginseng, once widespread in Maryland, now dwindling

    Ginseng, one of the most sought-after medicinal herbs in the world, once flourished across much of Maryland. It has nearly vanished now, though, from all but the westernmost counties, prompting officials to ponder banning commercial harvest of the lucrative plant from all state lands.

  8. Taking science to the masses

    Neil Shubin has the wide, happy eyes of a Muppet and the casual, ingratiating prattle of a car salesman. His thick, graying hair lends gravitas. He has written a new book, and on a bitter afternoon in Hyde Park he is explaining to me how he writes.

  9. 'On Looking' inspires rumination on the influence of perspective

    Several years ago, my daughter, who is now 7, drew a picture of the gym where she was taking gymnastics. My main impression of this gym was that it smelled of dirty socks and that it was a hectic place. But how did my preschooler see it? Her drawing included mats, balance beams, vaulting horses and bars. But she had spent far more time on two less obvious features of her gym. One was the gargantuan and loud fan that the coaches ran during the summer. This fan dominated her drawing, and she had drawn lines showing air rushing from it. The other was the small set of metal bleachers where the parents sat. I was there, helpfully labeled in her childish script, &quot;Mama."
