Continue reading to see how the discovery of the fossilized remains of the earliest animals to develop a skeleton helped scientists solve one of evolution's mysteries.
Research shows that Burmese pythons have evolved a unique feature, enabling their jaws to stretch wide enough to eat and swallow large prey. Read to know more.
Scientists are using artificial intelligence (AI) to study the human genome to determine which mutations were favored and which were only hitchhikers. Read the article to learn more.
Biologists found that physics does not always answer the problems in biology, such as why bigger animals consume lesser food than smaller ones. Find out the answer in this article.
Harvard researchers found that the rapid evolution and explosion of diversity in reptiles happened before the end-Permian extinctions due to a 60-million-year-long climate change. Read the article to know more details.
Check out the winning images from the 2022 BMC Ecology and Evolution image competition with the top-winning image of the fungus making a fly its zombie slave.
A study on primates show that female monkeys with female friends tend to live longer, but no survival benefits were found linked to heterosexual friendships. Read the article to know how this could be an evolutionary precursor to human rituals.
Researchers present surprising details about how whales developed eyes that can see in the dark deep ocean, which links to swift evolutionary adaptation.
When and why mammals evolved to be warm-blooded has been a mysterious question for experts. A recent study suggests that the secret lies in the inner ear canals of ancient species. Read on to learn more about endothermy and how the inner ear reveals the truth about warm-bloodedness.
A study revealed that lactose tolerance started to evolve in Europeans about 9,000 years ago. How did famine and diseases contribute to this? Read to find out.
A new study claims that the cousin of the ancient fish Tiktaalik, which modern mammals and humans evolved from, decided to return to the water after developing legs. Read the article to know why.
Researchers found a set of human gene mutations that were responsible for protecting older people against dementia and cognitive decline. Continue reading to know more about the evolutionary theory of the mutation.
The Earth's layers are key to understanding the formation and evolution of the planet. Read on to find out why a recent study says that the mantle closest to the core was more drier than earlier believed.
A new study suggests that natural selection is now disrupted because of income variances in the contemporary age. Learn more about the theory and how it tips the balance of human evolution.
