Where did bats come from? Family tree drawn from huge genetic study

In a groundbreaking study, researchers have untangled the origins and early evolution of bats, providing a comprehensive family tree based on extensive genetic analysis and fossil records. This research not only settles longstanding debates about bat ancestry but also sheds light on their remarkable resilience against diseases and their longevity. By understanding these genetic traits, scientists hope to unlock broader insights into evolutionary biology and potentially apply this knowledge to human health.
