It’s a sad feeling to know that the leaders of your country don’t like you. To be discouraged because you are a Muslim in what is now a Hindu-first India.It gives color to everything.

Each side replants its missing half, creating two identical clones of the original animal.This process, known as clonal fragmentation, is carried out by about 50 species of extant brittle stars and their starfish relatives. However, scientists have struggled to determine when brittle stars, a gangly group of echinoderms, began to reproduce in this way.A recently discovered fossil from Germany pushes the origin of cloning sea stars back more than 150 million years. In a paper published…
