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.
Religion, politics and war drive urban wildlife evolution, say biologists
The downstream consequences of religion, politics and war can have far-reaching effects on the environment and on the evolutionary processes affecting urban organisms, according to a new analysis from Washington University in St. Louis.
Structural differences in Nasonia wasps linked to evolution, behavior and disease
What can a tiny wasp with a rather gruesome parasitic life cycle teach us about evolution, behavior and human developmental diseases? In a new paper, researchers led by István Mikó and Holly Hoag at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) suggest that it may be a lot.
Scientists trace leprosy’s roots in South America back 4,000 years
Researchers have recovered and sequenced Mycobacterium lepromatosis genomes from 4,000-year-old human remains in Chile, providing the first molecular evidence of ancient leprosy in the Americas. The findings reveal the deep evolutionary roots and complex spread of Hansen’s disease long before European contact.
