However, an earlier hypothesis of Wickramasinghe's that the molecular building blocks of life could have been brought to Earth by comets is now widely thought plausible.
A more surprising result to emerge from the study appeared to contradict an earlier hypothesis about Orrorin's relationship to later species in the human lineage, Dr. Richmond and Dr. Jungers said.
The new US research, reported in the journal Science, confirms an earlier hypothesis that our ancestors only flourished after the dinosaurs departed, leaving ecological niches for them to fill.
Although some small primitive mammals had lived in the shadow of the great Cretaceous reptiles, the scientists could not find evidence supporting an earlier hypothesis that up to 39 placental mammalian lineages survived to enter the post-extinction world.
Importantly, these data confirm our earlier hypothesis that high Mn concentrations inhibit Cu sorption to maghemite.
From this, the Tafel slopes and electrochemical reaction orders, a mechanism, largely in agreement with earlier hypothesis, is put forward.
The latter result supports an earlier hypothesis, according to which especially a low sagittal asymmetry has a functional advantage.
Our study supports the earlier hypothesis that Canthium oligophlebium, C. obovatifolium and C. ramosii should be placed under Pyrostria s.s.s
Relative to the earlier hypothesis, this suggests that the fragments produced during model building phase were too small to have intra-molecular interactions.
All above observations confirmed earlier hypothesis that a formation of a co-crystal is strongly dependent on pKa of the individual constituents.
This confirmed earlier hypothesis that the formation of CF occurs on the surface/sidewall rather than within the bulk of the nanorod [252, 253].
