A new paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution, finds that changes in animal development induced by climate shock persist ...

The nanozymes hypothesis proposes that mineral nanoparticles drove chemical evolution on early Earth, helping transform inert matter into life through catalytic and environmental processes.

Goosebumps might be a common phenomenon we experience in our lives, as they were for our ancestors, but they might play an ...

This semi-aquatic mammal may look improbable, but its biology reveals how evolution shapes even the strangest mammal bodies.

Biologists are closing in on a puzzle that seems to turn classic evolutionary logic inside out, yet may be so common that it deserves to be called a new rule of life. Instead of always purging harmful ...

New research is significantly revising a widely cited evolutionary model, the Inhibitory Cascade Mode (ICM). Benjamin Auerbach, professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the ...

We often see the results of evolution, but not the process directly. Now, scientists have been treated to front row seats of evolution unfolding in real time, as two similar lizard species encounter ...

In Part One of this series, we saw that culture doesn't suffer from the problem that Darwin's theory of natural selection successfully solved: the problem of how change accumulates in biological ...
