Fossil Evidence Suggests Mammal Ancestors Birthed Live Young 236 Million Years Ago
AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only
New analysis of a fossil bone suggests that at least one mammal ancestor gave birth to live young rather than laying eggs approximately 236 million years ago.
Researchers reached this conclusion by examining growth rings found on the fossil bone, which provided evidence that live birth occurred far earlier than previously thought.
