Now, a new study suggests that evolution itself may be a process that can evolve. Life has managed to flourish in some ...

The adaptations of organisms allow them to thrive in different habitats, including extreme environments. Evolution explains how better adapted organisms have an advantage and are more likely to ...

Sometimes, the most significant scientific discoveries happen by accident. Scientists have long known that whole-genome ...

Tech is evolving too fast for human biology. Mental health trends show we're struggling. To survive, we must speed up ...

Are you lactose intolerant? Many people are. In fact, the ability to digest lactose may be an example of adaptive evolution in the human lineage. Although the study of natural selection in humans ...

Long-term studies at Georgia Tech and beyond show that evolution is happening right now. They capture the rise of new species ...

Enzymes originally evolved in high-temperature environments and later adapted to lower temperatures as Earth cooled. Scientists discovered that a key shift in enzyme function occurred over ...

Professor Pål Johnsen, co-senior author at UiT Arctic University of Norway, added, "Bacterial evolution and adaptation often depend on plasmids to support the transfer of genes, and are shaped by ...
