Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences has officially voted to change the name of the Human Evolutionary Biology concentration during a meeting on April 1. Effective as of July 1, 2025 — when the ...

Researchers discovered that autism’s prevalence may be linked to human brain evolution. Specific neurons in the outer brain evolved rapidly, and autism-linked genes changed under natural selection.

Harvard’s Human Evolutionary Biology concentration may soon be known by a different name. In an email to concentrators, Ashley Johnson, the HEB undergraduate program coordinator, wrote that the ...

Evolutionary biology professor Scott Solomon discusses the long-term implication of the Artemis II mission.

Throughout most of human history, evolution progressed slowly. Small genetic changes took thousands of years to permeate populations. Natural selection was intentional, reactive, and gradual. However, ...
