Follow Evolution news from the top news sites and blogs by industry experts in one place. The theory of evolution is the scientific theory that explains how life has changed over time. It is based on the idea that all living things share a common ancestor and that over time, these organisms have evolved, or changed, to become the species we see today. Evolution is often described as “the process by which life changes over time” and is supported by evidence from fossils, genetics, and anatomy. Although the idea of evolution has been around for centuries, it was not until the 19th century that Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species, which became the foundation for the modern theory of evolution. Since then, scientists have continued to uncover evidence that supports the idea of evolution. Evolution news covers the latest research and discoveries, and provides insight into the history of the theory and its implications for the future.
What the complicated social lives of wasps can teach us about the evolution of animal societies
It's spring in England. The daffodils are in full bloom. A queen yellowjacket (Vespula) wasp emerges from your loft, dopey with hibernation and hungry for nectar. She starts to build a paper nest in which ...
Ants took over the world by following flowering plants out of prehistoric forests -- ScienceDaily
Today, ants are pretty much everywhere. To learn more about how these insects conquered the world, scientists used a combination of fossils, DNA, and data on the habitat preferences of modern species to piece together how ants and plants have been evolving together over the past 60 million years. They found that when flowering plants spread out from forests, the ants followed, kicking off the evolution of the thousands of ant species alive today.
Extinction of steam locomotives derails assumptions about biological evolution -- ScienceDaily
When the Kinks' Ray Davies penned the tune 'Last of the Steam-Powered Trains,' the vanishing locomotives stood as nostalgic symbols of a simpler English life. But for a paleontologist, the replacement of steam-powered trains with diesel and electric engines, as well as cars and trucks, might be a model of how some species in the fossil record died out.
