Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. En ny forskningsstudie avslöjar vid vilken tid i Jordens historia som syret i atmosfären började öka. Detta skedde samtidigt som jordklotet drabbades av global nedisning och all landmassa var samlad i en enda stor superkontinent. Hur sambandet mellan dessa händelser kan förklaras är dock en fråga som gäckar forskarn
