New research has revealed that some events in Earth's history happened more recently than previously thought. Scientists have refined the data used to determine how much time has passed since a mineral or rock was formed.

Afghans share unique genetic heritage, DNA analysis shows

Posted: 27 Mar 2012 07:00 PM PDT
