Researchers from Dresden uncover a greater neuron production in the frontal lobe during brain development in modern humans than Neandertals

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

Researchers find the first evidence of nonrandom mutation in human genes, challenging a core assumption at the heart of evolutionary theory

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

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

The new study could have big implications for genome research, evolutionary biology, computing, big data, physics and cosmology.

A study has made an estimation of the time when some of the genetic variants that characterise our species emerged.

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

A new study has brought the first evidence of nonrandom mutation in human genes, challenging a core assumption at the heart of evolution.

How fast can wild animals adapt? Faster than previously thought based on a global study examining rates of evolution in 15 species.

It’s what’s inside Stanleycaris’ head that has researchers most excited. Remains of the brain are still preserved after 506 million years.

The human genome is littered with “selfish genetic elements,” which do not seem to benefit their hosts, but instead seek only to propagate.

Moving in time to musical rhythm is so automatic that people are often not conscious of the exquisite coordination that it demands.

The human middle ear houses three tiny, vibrating bones and is key to transporting sound vibrations into the inner ear that allow us to hear

Samples returned from the Hayabusa2 mission provides invaluable insights into the formation and evolution of our solar system.

In a world first, researchers have revealed that early humans across southern Africa made a particular type of stone tool in the same shape.

The genetic origins of the first agriculturalists in the Neolithic period long seemed to lie in the Near East a new study finds.

Researchers at MSU, China and France have unveiled a new theory that could help solve a galactic mystery of how our solar system evolved.

Cichlids and stingrays can perform simple addition and subtraction in the number range of one to five as shown in a recent study.

Researchers have for the first time been able to create an RNA molecule that replicates, diversifies and develops complexity.
