Researchers at University of California San Diego created a formula that more accurately compares the ages of humans and dogs.

Building tissues and organs is one of the most complex and important tasks that cells must accomplish during embryogenesis.

Understanding the biology behind an embryo’s development is crucial not only from a basic science perspective, but also from a medical one.

The missing link isn’t a not-yet-discovered fossil, after all. It’s a tiny, self-replicating globule called a coacervate droplet.

Researchers report that an abbreviated, seven-item scale can help determine with high validity a person’s level of wisdom,

Diverse microbial life existed on Earth 3.75 billion years ago, suggests a new study challenging the current view of when life began.

When Mars was a young planet, it was bombarded by ice asteroids delivering water and organic molecules necessary for life to emerge.

Researchers have found that an abbreviated, seven-item scale can help determine with high validity a person’s level of wisdom.

Chemical evolution was first proposed in the 1920s as the idea that life first originated with the formation of macromolecules.

Just as you might look down at the sidewalk as you walk, fish look downward when they swim, a new study has confirmed. The question is why?

Diverse microbial life existed on Earth at least 3.75 billion years ago, suggests a new study challenging the view of when life began.

For over two decades paleontologist Kevin Padian has been frequently asked one question by undergraduates that stuck with him.

A new study by a team of researchers from Israel and Ghana has brought the first evidence of nonrandom mutation in human genes.

The first appearance of shark-like ‘jawed fish’ may have happened some 15 million years earlier than previously thought.

If evolutionary biologists were to rank the body parts that make us quintessentially human, the pelvis would place close to the top.

The missing link isn’t a not-yet-discovered fossil, after all. It’s a tiny, self-replicating globule called a coacervate droplet,

Study has made progress in identifying how particles and cells give rise to large-scale dynamics that we experience as the passage of time.

After midnight for most people —there are neurophysiological changes in the brain that alter the way we interact with the world.

Karoo fossils provide “smoking gun” on clues to when warm-bloodedness evolved in pre-mammalian ancestors according to researchers.

For centuries, nature lovers and scientists have been fascinated by the fact that creatures in the sea are able to glow in the dark.
