In December 2024, an international team of marine researchers made a groundbreaking discovery that sent shockwaves through the scientific community. During an expedition in the infamous Bermuda Triangle – a region steeped in mystery and legend – they uncovered what might change our understanding of evolutionary history: the fossil of a creature resembling a mermaid. At a depth of over 2,000 meters, where sunlight barely penetrates, the team used advanced remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to map the ocean floor. They stumbled upon a natural cavern-like structure and, upon further exploration, discovered scattered bone fragments. To their amazement, a nearly intact…
