A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...

A new study theorizes that evolution ticks at different speeds, especially when a big group of organisms first appears.

Life in the wild is never constant; animals adapt quickly if they are to survive. Climate change, the reduction of habitats, ...

Environmental change doesn’t affect evolution in a single, predictable way. In large-scale computer simulations, scientists discovered that some fluctuating conditions help populations evolve higher ...

Researchers study house sparrow genetics to understand survival, evolution, and how species respond to environmental change.

The results revealed a clear sequence. Enzymes predating cannabis showed no ability to process CBGA. The first enzyme unique ...

A major evolutionary theory says most genetic changes don’t really matter, but new evidence suggests that’s not true. Researchers found that helpful mutations happen surprisingly often. The twist is ...

Songbirds on the UCLA campus changed beak shapes during the pandemic, according to a new study. Researchers suspect it might be a case of rapid evolution.
