"A breakthrough study has established that proteins found in human hair can work like fingerprints in the arena of crime investigation. This is because hair protein is unique to each individual and is more effective than traditional DNA profiling used in forensic analysis of human remains.
The new study beats the limitations posed by the conventional DNA profiling used by forensic scientists. It asserts that proteins are more stable and can offer accurate identification of human remains.
Details of the protein-centric hair analysis technique were published in PLOS ONE. According to lead author Brad Hart, a forensic scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), the protein analysis will be a "game changer""

"Meet Saccorhytus coronaries, the species that scientists in a new study believe is the earliest known step on the evolutionary path that led to fish and—eventually—to humans.

An international team of scientists uncovered the microfossils of the speck-size creature they are calling Saccorhytus coronaries in Shaanxi Province, central China. According to their findings, published this week in the journal Nature, Saccorhytus lived 540 million years ago, during the early Cambrian period, when a shallow ocean would have covered the region where it was found. At that advanced age, it is believed to be the oldest known member of a category of animals known as “deuterostomes,” which are common ancestors to a wide range of other species, from starfish, sea urchins and acorn worms to the large group classified as vertebrates (backboned animals)."
