Gut Microbes may have helped fuel the evolution of large human brains, shaping brain metabolism and gene activity, new ...

A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...

Environmental change doesn’t affect evolution in a single, predictable way. In large-scale computer simulations, scientists ...

Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...

Recent research delving into the intricate world of bird feathers has uncovered a fascinating discovery: a distinct set of feather rules governing flight capabilities. This breakthrough sheds light on ...

A long-standing debate among evolutionary scientists goes something like this: Does evolution happen in a predictable pattern or does it depend on chance events and contingency? That is, if you could ...

Competition between species played a major role in the rise and fall of hominins -- and produced a 'bizarre' evolutionary pattern for the Homo lineage -- according to a new study that revises the ...

New research from the University of Wisconsin–Madison decodes the evolutionary pathway of regulatory proteins, the molecules that help control gene expression. The findings from the Raman Lab in the ...

Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of tissues and organs, there is a hidden order that looks a lot like pure ...

Competition between species played a major role in the rise and fall of hominins – and produced a “bizarre” evolutionary pattern for the Homo lineage – according to a new University of Cambridge study ...
