New experimental studies by numerous research groups, including the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology (MPI-EB) in Plön and Kiel University (CAU), suggest that evolutionary medicine could ...

The idea that universes evolve like organisms sat on the fringes of theoretical physics for decades. Then, a Substack post ...

Experimental approaches to evolution provide indisputable evidence of evolution by directly observing the process at work. Experimental evolution deliberately duplicates evolutionary processes—forcing ...

A major research study is challenging one of evolution’s most influential ideas: that most genetic changes that become permanent are essentially neutral. Researchers at the University of Michigan ...

Monash University biologists have discovered that evolution can significantly impact the stability and tipping points of ecosystems, potentially causing early ecosystem collapse or aiding in their ...

Evaluating the speed at which viruses spread and transmit across host populations is critical to mitigating disease outbreaks. A study published December 3 in PLOS Biology by Simon Dellicour at the ...

Trying to understand human behavior (a basic feature of our species, shaped by natural selection) without understanding evolutionary principles would be like trying to understand the details of a car ...
