An international team of researchers wrote in the journal Biology of the discovery of “an obligate parthenogenetic bdelloid rotifer,” one recovered “from northeastern Siberian permafrost radiocarbon-dated to ∼24,000 years [ago].”
The creatures “are known for their ability to survive extremely low temperatures,” while the latest discovery “constitutes the longest reported case of rotifer survival in a frozen state.”
The scientists also found that “a clonal culture [of the animal’s cells] can continuously reproduce in the laboratory by parthenogenesis,” or asexual reproduction.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
