Tanzanian opposition party Chadema on Wednesday said three of its members were killed in incidents linked to local elections and accused the authorities of rigging the vote.

Earth wasn't as riotous and violent right after its birth as we once thought

How did life emerge on Earth? The age-old question has intrigued experts for years and now a study has hinted that rocky guests who visit us frequently might have carried the seeds of life.

Scientists crack the code, reveal what transported seeds of life to Earth

A theory suggests that when life first emerged on Earth roughly four billion years ago, it looked like a volcanic landscape devoid of flora and fauna rather than an ocean setting.

A shallow, salty lake in Canada may have an explanation for the origin of life on Earth

Life on Earth might have originated from hot springs billions of years ago. According to a study published in the journal Nature Communications Earth & Environment, key molecules required to produce life consist of inorganic materials, essential to understanding the formation of the first living systems on our planet.

Hot springs served as catalyst for life on Earth billions of years ago, study finds

To date, we all were told that life originated on Earth nearly half a billion years ago. However, a new fossil discovery has led scientists to do some course correction and push the time scale by 1.

Wrong all along? Life on Earth originated long before than previously thought

The human-made possessions from about 7,000 years ago are being discovered from Mount Edziza, a volcano located in northwestern British Columbia in Canada. The site belonged to the Tahltan First Nations.

Ancient stones trapped in ice give glimpse of how life was 7,000 years ago

The moon is essential to the functioning of Earth; as it controls the length of the day and ocean tides, which affect life cycles on our planet. Additionally, the moon makes the Earth's climate more stable by stabilising its spin axis, which provides an ideal environment in which life can develop.

'How life began': Study explains how a moon helps create life on a planet

The emergence of the Earth's first living organisms billions of years ago may have been facilitated by a bolt out of the blue - or perhaps a quintillion of them.

Primordial lightning strikes may have helped emergence of Earth's first living organisms

Like all things in the universe, our planet Earth too will fizzle out eventually. Scientists estimate that Earth has about five billion years before the Sun loses its energy, and swallows most of what is currently our solar system.

Why scientists believe life on Earth will perish way earlier than previously thought

Lead author Matthew Dodd of 'Nature' said we could also expect to find evidence for past life on Mars four billion years ago

Oldest fossils point to life on Earth about 4 billion years ago
