Two worms that have been frozen in permafrost for up to 42,000 years have come back to life, and are now considered the oldest living animals on the planet, in what is being described as a major scientific breakthrough.
The ancient nematodes (aka roundworms) are “moving and eating” again for the first time since the Pleistocene age, after coming back to life in Petri dishes, according to a new study by a team of Russian scientists in collaboration with Princeton University.

Quite amazing, just shows what kind of things could be possible with life and longevity.

Also sort of ties in with the other news from a couple of days ago.
"Evidence of Underground Lake on Mars"

The timing of some of these "announcements" or articles just seems ( in my opinion ) to be leading towards an official announcement of past life on the red planet ( all be it of lower life forms ) in the non to distant future.

I would say it lead to present microbes at a minimum, if not worms, on the red planet.
I assisted to a conference with space scientists few years ago. The nasa scientist was saying that if microbes are discovered on other planets or moons, the path for intelligent life evolution was drawn and that it would become a real possibility.
This is where it is leading maybe within 15 years. At this point, it is only political desire and world industries/groups hidden secrets that will hamper this. It cannot be the reaction of the masses anymore.
The problem is the dumbming down of the masses. To relate to extraterrestrial life, the masses have to be intelligent in my opinion.

The announcement of the 'lake' under the surface of mars came from an Italian group. I don't know if that is relevant to the act of Italy breaking from the Euro alliance, but that is a situation that is most certainly real and happening in the backdrop of this 'scientific findings' announcement.

You would think they would study them for stasis research or longevity techniques. They were the first animal to have their genome completely sequenced (https://www.darkdaily.com/2022/02/07/full-genome-sequencing-of-all-animal-species-continues-but-sequencing-of-invertebrate-species-lags-behind-that-of-vertebrate-species/).
Nematode (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nematode)
The nematodes (/ˈnɛmətoʊdz/ NEM-ə-tohdz or NEEM- Greek: Νηματώδη; Latin: Nematoda) or roundworms constitute the phylum Nematoda (also called Nemathelminthes),[2][3] with plant-parasitic nematodes also known as eelworms.[4]

So, what is a nematode? Nematodes are animals, worms to be precise, and numerous ones at that. Experts estimate there are more than a million different species of nematodes. In fact, 4 out of every 5 animals are nematodes making them the most numerically abundant animals on the planet - by a lot. They can be found absolutely everywhere from the deepest part of the ocean to the top of the highest mountain.
