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.
Evolution is traditionally associated with a process of increasing complexity and gaining new genes. However, the explosion of the genomic era shows that gene loss and simplification is a much more frequent process in the evolution of species than previously thought, and may favor new biological adaptations that facilitate the survival of living organisms.
The results are in. Our personal genetic assessment comes back to us – to what extent have we enhanced our evolutionary well-being. It doesn’t always make for the best of reading. In fact, it can be rather like reliving those school reports we received as a child – could do better; if he applied himself…
AAAS:"Farm fertilizer could suck carbon dioxide from the atmosphere." A new study reported in Nature suggests a way to accomplish [in]direct air capture [DAC] of carbon dioxide using natural minerals. Mimics the natural entrapment of CO2 by what is usually the slow but inexoraable process of weathering. "Since the start of the Industrial Revolution in the 1760s, humans have
I’ve known for several years that the Artificial Intelligence Revolution started in my home area (the San Francisco Bay Area). Of course, the SF Bay Area is in Northern California. California has some of the greatest advanced educational institutions in the world. In the SF Bay Area, we have Stanford and UC Berkeley, among several others. State-wide we have the California
A new study by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology (MPI-EB) sheds fresh light on one of the most debated concepts in biology: evolvability. The work provides the first experimental evidence showing how natural selection can shape genetic systems to enhance future capacity for evolution, challenging traditional perspectives on evolutionary processes.
New research on the inner ear morphology of Neanderthals and their ancestors challenges the widely accepted theory that Neanderthals originated after an evolutionary event that implied the loss of part of their genetic diversity. The findings, based on fossil samples from Atapuerca (Spain) and Krapina (Croatia), as well as from various European and Western Asian sites have been published in Nature Communications.
