Mammals have developed some unusual eating habits over the past 100 million years, but a new study has uncovered the ...

Carcinization describes how unrelated species evolve similar crab-like bodies through natural selection. With at least five independent cases recorded, researchers are examining what makes this ...

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

The message of climate fatalism is just as wrong as the worst climate deniers. It is absurd to claim that it’s “too late” to stop climate change. We know for sure that it is possible to prevent the ...

The key change is an ancient defense system. Basically, these tomatoes are manufacturing a version of an alkaloid whose ...

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

Size matters when it comes to evolution But convergent evolution becomes something useful when we think of it as a kind of natural experiment. The size of primate testicles gives us a classic example.

If we look across the whole of the mammal branch of the tree of life we find there are many groups of mammals that have ...

Imagine plunging into the depths of the ocean and coming face to face with a creature that glides through the water with stunning speed and grace. Is it a shark? A dolphin? Or something entirely ...

Weaknesses: Despite the interesting and necessary insights provided on (1) the evolution of DNA repair mechanisms, and (2) the convergent evolution of molecular mechanisms, this bioinformatic study ...
