Studies have suggested that genes under strong sexual selection tend to evolve rapidly, particularly those associated with ...

The study showed that populations don’t lose their “evolvability,” even if conditions remain the same for many generations.

Scientists discovered humans descended from two ancient populations, not one. These groups split 1.5 million years ago.

Learn why scientists say it’s a rare case of animals exploiting their glow for visual signaling.

A longstanding question in evolutionary biology is how sexual selection influences how entire genomes develop. Sexual selection is where individuals ...

Yet despite this growing interest in consciousness, the million-dollar question remains: does the stoned ape theory have any ...

Absolute perfectionism is the belief that we ought to be perfect everywhere, all the time, and to everyone. Doing so is impossible, but a healthier version of perfectionism exists.

Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe.

The study found that gastric cells in some individuals carried three copies of certain chromosomes, hinting toward exposure ...

STEM professors at USF are teaching in new ways — emphasizing collaboration between different classes, adding unexpected ...

Genes from the minority population, particularly those related to brain function, may have played a crucial role in human evolution, says Trevor Cousins.

Fiji’s iguanas embarked on one of the most astonishing ocean journeys in history, rafting nearly 5,000 miles from North ...
