Why did jaws win the evolutionary race? Not by chance—post-extinction opportunities let them diversify like Darwin's finches. This study links fossils, ecology & geography to explain modern life’s origins. Dive in!

Trapped in isolated "refugia" hotspots, early jawed fishes evolved rapidly, filling empty niches left by extinct species. OIST's database of fossils shows this Late Ordovician Mass Extinction directly fueled vertebrate diversity boom.https://mappingignorance.org/2026/01/13/why-jaws-evolved/

445 million years ago, a massive extinction wiped out 85% of marine life due to glaciers & ocean chaos. But from the ashes rose jawed vertebrates—like our ancestors! New OIST research reveals how this "reset" sparked their dominance. https://mappingignorance.org/2026/01/13/why-jaws-evolved/

Well before psychology existed as a discipline, Bacon identified the systematic biases that distort human reasoning. He called them “idols”. Science is, in essence, organised resistance to these idols. https://mappingignorance.org/2026/01/19/francis-bacon/

Francis Bacon (1561–1626) is widely regarded as one of the main architects of the modern scientific mentality. In "Novum Organum" (1620), he advocated systematic induction. https://mappingignorance.org/2026/01/19/francis-bacon/

Reading a quantum clock costs more energy than running it
The energy cost of "reading" a quantum clock has implications for the design of future quantum technologies.

445 million years ago, life on Earth changed forever: the ice dried out many of the shallow seas and caused the extinction of the majority of life. One group came to dominate all others. Why?

instead of the single, simple linear band that characterizes an isolated topological surface, the data showed multiple replicated Dirac cones
