1 trillion species, 3 billion years: how we used AI to trace the evolution of bacteria on Earth Until now, it’s been very hard for scientists to establish a detailed timeline of the early evolution of bacteria.

We used Great Oxidation Event as a planet-sized "fossil" to add ancient dates to the Bacterial tree of life. @theconversation.com and @science.org articles show oxygen was used by non-cyanos before that cataclysm, surprisingly. theconversation.com/1-trillion-s... www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
