Survival of ancient sea sponges give hints into future adaptability

"New research shows how sea sponges survived in ancient ocean water—and gives insight into how modern life forms may adapt to pollution and climate change. A new study of modern sea sponges is beginning to tell us how early life forms such as sea sponges found ways to survive in extreme environments prior to the evolution of modern life and the oxygenation of Earth’s oceans between a billion and 541 million years ago." - Excerpt from Univeristy of Alberta.
