In a newly published study, a team of University of Toronto Scarborough researchers have described the first known hybrid bird species to be found in…
The arrival 36 years ago of a strange bird to a remote island in the Galapagos archipelago has provided direct genetic evidence of a novel…
The most dramatic divergence between humans and other primates can be found in the brain, the primary organ that gives our species its identity. However,…
New research shows that Neanderthals survived at least 3,000 years longer than we thought in Southern Iberia long after they had died out everywhere else….
New research from the University of Edinburgh reveals that Chimpanzee brains may be more different from those of humans than was previously thought. The study…
The newly described fossils were originally recovered from a commercial quarry and belonged to tiny early primates — some half the size of a mouse….
Researchers discover several genes whose evolution appears to have been critical to the divergence of humans from their common ancestor with chimpanzees. What makes humans…
In a newly published study scientists from MIT reveal evidence that eukaryotes — the domain of life comprising animals, plants, and protists — were present…
Newly published research details the effects of human genetic variation, finding that each person possesses on average about 150 variants capable of disabling genes. A…
An international team of scientists has discovered a new species of hominin in South Africa that may have existed alongside modern humans. This small creature…
A new study from Brown University shows how dogs evolved in response to changes in climate over the last 40 million years, demonstrating that predators…
In a new study evolutionary biologists reveal that bird beaks are the result of skeletal changes controlled by two genetic pathways, shedding light on the…
A new study from the University of British Columbia reveals that the early loss of radioactive heat-producing elements such as uranium and potassium helped put…
By applying the latest tools of genome sequencing and analysis to preserved evidence from experiments carried out at Notre Dame in the 1990s, a new…
New data show that the first single-celled organisms with a nucleus originated more than a billion years later than biogeochemical evidence had previously indicated. Contaminated…
Two newly published studies reveal evidence for how the genetic code developed in two distinct stages to help primordial chemicals evolve into cells. Chapel Hill,…
Using sophisticated modeling of genomic data from diverse species, scientists from Yale University have answered a longstanding question about which competing model of evolution works…
