Humans like to think that being multicellular (and bigger) is a definite advantage, even though 80% of life on Earth consists ...

Long-term studies at Georgia Tech and beyond show that evolution is happening right now. They capture the rise of new species ...

Scientists uncovered how whole-genome duplication emerges and remains stable over thousands of generations of evolution in the lab.

It wasn’t the size of human brains that distinguished people from apes, he theorized, but the way they were organized. He ...

Early human evolution may have been more complex than scientists previously thought, with modern humans evolving from two ...

Some stars in our galaxy pulse like musical instruments, and scientists have found a way to listen in. These rhythmic ...

Researchers found that cooperative fluid dynamics between single-celled organisms may have driven the evolution of ...

A remarkably complete plesiosaur fossil found in southern Germany is shedding light on the early evolution of these iconic ...

Scientists uncovered how whole-genome duplication emerges and remains stable over thousands of generations of evolution in the lab. Sometimes, the most significant scientific discoveries happen by ...

Scientists have long known that whole-genome duplication (WGD)—the process by which organisms copy all their genetic material—plays an important role in evolution. But understanding just how ...

A simulation on the origin and evolution of North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) has been conducted by a PKU research team led by Nie Ji, Associate Professor of School of Physics, and Hu Yongyun, Dean of ...

New study shows how bird traits like gene makeup and clutch size shape evolution. This may help scientists understand ...
