A new article published in Science suggests fundamental differences of nerve net architecture that challenges our previous understanding on the evolution of nervous systems and how they transmit ...

A groundbreaking study has found that evolution is not as unpredictable as previously thought, which could allow scientists to explore which genes could be useful to tackle real-world issues such as ...

PBS science strand "Nova" is set to explore the "epic journey of life" in a new series about evolution. "Nova: Evolution" is a five-part series from the GBH documentary unit together with the BBC and ...

NOVA has been following the evolution of artificial intelligence since it was a zygote. In our 1978 film The Mind Machines, Arthur C. Clarke predicted, “I think that what we’re doing now is in a sense ...

Hidden within fish DNA are powerful genetic twists that may explain one of nature’s biggest mysteries: how new species form so quickly. In Lake Malawi, hundreds of cichlid fish species evolved at ...

A classic question in biology is whether evolution is entirely random or, can it follow predictable patterns. This question was popularized by the famous paleontologist and science communicator ...

A new study from the University of Michigan suggests that organisms could get better at evolving over time. Researchers used a computer program to simulate organisms switching between beneficial and ...

The theory of how life develops on Earth has inspired a lot of controversial and inaccurate statements—including some from Charles Darwin himself. No species better exemplifies this than human beings.

Florida’s proposed new academic standards for science downplay evolution, ignore “climate change” and represent a step backwards for public education, according to several experts who’ve reviewed them ...
