Right, right, right. But other researchers think that it makes a lot of sense. And if it's true, it has some pretty profound implications.

So it could mean that those early steps of evolution might be kind of easy. Yeah, and that on Earth, it didn't take all that long to go from some self-replicating thing snapping into being to a Luca like the one painted here.

And if it wasn't so hard for complex life to evolve here on Earth, that might mean that it's not so hard on other planets either.

Studying bat migration is tricky since bats are small and fly only at night. A new study published in Science used special trackers, essentially tiny bat backpacks, that connect to wireless networks. The trackers allowed researchers to watch the migrations of a species called the noctual bat across Central Europe and measure climate data.
