Like other living creatures, humans have been shaped by evolution. Over time, we have developed – and continue to develop – traits that help us survive.
Supraordinal relationships of primates and their time of origin -- A molecular classification for the living orders of placental mammals and the phylogenetic placement of primates / MS Springer, WJ ...
Researchers at the University of Vienna, along with collaborators from France, Germany, Switzerland and the USA, have achieved a major breakthrough in understanding how genetic drivers influence the ...
In a study published in Molecular Biology and Evolution, a research team led by Prof. Liu Jinxian from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS), explored the genetic ...
Researchers at the University of Maine are theorizing that human beings may be in the midst of a major evolutionary shift—driven not by genes, but by culture. "Human evolution seems to be changing ...
Millions thrive at high altitudes due to remarkable genetic adaptations. Tibetans, for instance, possess a gene variant allowing efficient oxygen use without dangerously thick blood. Andeans and ...
For the first time ever, scientists have uncovered evidence that a species’ long-term adaptation to living in an extremely cold climate has led to the evolution of social behaviours including extended ...
