We can explain our brains, bones, and even balls... but this very visible part of us still has evolutionists stumped.

Human testicles are much smaller, in proportion, to some of our primate cousins. Evolution can tell us why. But the size of ...

In evolutionary biology, convergent evolution is the process whereby organisms not closely related (not monophyletic), independently evolve similar traits as a result of having to adapt to similar ...

Convergent evolution is when unrelated, or distantly related species from different families, develop similar traits mostly based on their environment.

To build proteins, cells rely on a molecule called transfer RNA, or tRNA. tRNAs act like protein-building couriers, where ...

A new study examining stick and leaf insect species has found evidence of convergent evolution, with all of the insects evolving similar characteristics despite diverging long ago. Convergent ...

Convergent evolution occurs when species independently evolve similar traits. It’s a fascinating window into the power of natural selection.

Discover interesting facts about how evolution works, the different patterns that can emerge from evolution, how quickly organisms can evolve, and whether evolution is a random or ordered process ...

A new study reveals the surprisingly convergent evolution in the inner ear of mammals. An international research team led by Nicole Grunstra from the University of Vienna and Anne Le Maître from the ...

Memes about repeated evolution of crabs have been co-opted to joke about technology and “ultimate forms.” They’re hilarious, but they oversimplify natural variation, giving bad arguments a ...
