Research is shaking up how we think about evolution, suggesting there's a level of predictability influenced by genes and genetic history.

Researchers have created a method called optovolution that uses light to guide the evolution of proteins with dynamic behaviors. By engineering yeast cells so their survival depended on proteins ...

A new University of California San Diego study published in Cell challenges a long-standing assumption about how animal ...

As a result, the evolutionary pressures that once favored the appendix have largely disappeared. Meanwhile, the medical risks of keeping the appendix – most notably appendicitis – remain. Modern ...

The theory of evolution by natural selection was first formulated in Darwin’s book “On the Origin of Species” in 1859. It ...

Evolution is perhaps the most extraordinary story ever told—a tale spanning billions of years that connects every living thing on Earth through an intricate ...

Vibram, the global leader in high-performance rubber outsoles, is proud to announce its official partnership with the Natural Selection Tour (NST), the world's premier adventure sports tours founded ...

EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle.

Study of 280 empirical papers suggests evolution is shaped by both individual advantage and competition between groups.
