As climate change continues to cause increasingly extreme weather and temperature fluctuations, the availability of certain tropical fruits may be at risk. A recent study conducted by Cornell University has found that many varieties of tropical fruits are simply not resilient enough to withstand the effects of climate change, and could potentially become extinct within the next few decades. This means that, in the near future, some of our favorite fruits such as mangos, bananas, and papayas may no longer be available.

Today, researchers from the University of California have made a groundbreaking discovery: the gene responsible for our sense of smell may have been inherited from Neanderthals. The team studied genetic data from more than 2,500 people and found that a gene called OR7D4 is highly prevalent in modern humans, and is likely to have been passed down from our ancient cousins. This gene is responsible for detecting certain odors, and is especially sensitive to scents found in nature, such as plants and flowers.

In a recent study, scientists have discovered a bizarre exoplanet that has an orbital pattern never seen before. The exoplanet, known as HD76920b, is a giant gas planet that orbits its star in an unusual horseshoe-shaped pattern. This unique orbital path is caused by the gravitational pull of two other planets in the system, which cause HD76920b to “hug” its star before swinging back out again. This strange horseshoe pattern is known as a Lissajous orbit, and it has never been seen before in any other exoplanetary system.
