Did you know that traits in animal species can re-appear in a new generation hundreds of years later? These ancient ...

New research challenges the long-standing idea that most fixed genetic mutations are neutral. For many years, scientists studying evolution have believed that most genetic changes influencing how ...

The biology of organisms can be affected by environmental pressures through the genome. For example, if a genetic mutation gives the plumage of a bird better camouflage, more of those birds will ...

It was the world’s first murder. The ape-man exultantly threw his club (actually the leg bone of a zebra) into the air, and, as it spun, it morphed into an orbiting space station. In this stunning ...

When we think of evolutionary changes, we tend to consider long stretches of time. But can evolution happen rapidly? There is some evidence that yes, evolutionary changes can occur quickly. New ...

NEET UG 2026 is expected on the first Sunday of May. Check your preparation with these high-yield Plant Physiology ...

All modern Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest malaria parasite in humans, are descendants of one initial infection and so are very closely related, with relatively limited genetic differences. A ...

A molecular biologist may have found a new 'rule of biology.' The rule challenges long-held notions that most living organisms prefer stability over instability because stability requires less energy ...

A new study challenges the idea that language stems from a single evolutionary root. Instead, it proposes that our ability to communicate evolved through the interaction of biology and culture, and ...
