Artificial intelligence allows tracing the evolution of genetic control elements in the developing mammalian cerebellum. An ...

Biology and culture in human evolution -- Heredity -- Environmentalist thesis and hereditarian antithesis -- Equal but dissimilar -- Heredity of health and disease -- Natural selection and survival of ...

The human genome is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, the biological blueprints that make humans … well, human. But it turns out that some of our DNA — about 8% — are the remnants of ancient viruses ...

Artificial intelligence allows tracing the evolution of genetic control elements in the developing mammalian cerebellum. An ...

A lost chapter in human evolution has been revealed after an analysis of modern DNA found that we come from not one but two ancestral populations—ones that drifted apart and later reconnected long ...

Artificial intelligence allows tracing the evolution of genetic control elements in the developing mammalian cerebellum. An international research team led by biologists from Heidelberg University as ...

A breakthrough in human evolutionary research has finally revealed the place where Homo sapiens and Neanderthals first crossed paths. The discovery places the two ancient human species not in the ...

A groundbreaking international study changes the view that exposure to the toxic metal lead is largely a post-industrial phenomenon. The research reveals that our human ancestors were periodically ...

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.

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, ...

When scientists today work to decode the human genome, they use high-tech methods to view the microscopic chromosomes and even pluck individual genes out of a cell. But in Darwin's time, it was ...
