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.
Heterogeneous host populations drive evolution of more virulent pathogens, modeling study shows
The evolution of pathogens has received attention in a wide range of scientific fields, such as epidemiology, demography, and evolutionary ecology. Understanding pathogen evolution is particularly urgent for rapidly evolving pathogens, such as SARS-CoV-2, which has spread globally since 2019.
Simulations of hominin Lucy help show how long distance running evolved in modern humans
A team of natural scientists, musculoskeletal specialists, and evolutionary biologists affiliated with several institutions in the U.K., working with a colleague from the Netherlands, has found via simulations, that the famous early hominin Lucy, could run upright, but not nearly as quickly as modern humans.
Sea snakes regain advanced color vision, recovering a complex trait once lost to evolutionary time
Nine species of sea snakes have now been identified as having regained the genetic requirements for advanced color vision, demonstrating that once a complex trait has been lost to evolutionary time, it may be regained in some way.
Bridging Dental Education and Technology | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Can mobile apps revolutionize dental education? Our study developed and tested a smartphone-based app for teaching oral health needs assessment. While the app didn’t outperform traditional methods, students' enthusiasm for mobile learning highlights opportunities for future innovation.
The genomic journey of modern and archaic humans may be older than we thought
Research conducted at the Department of Biology, University of Padova, has identified critical genomic milestones in the evolution of Homo sapiens, including key chromosomal rearrangements and specific gene variants that contributed to the development of current modern human traits.
Host heterogeneity increases pathogen virulence in metapopulations
Heterogeneity is ubiquitous in real-world host populations, yet most theories assume homogeneity. Using a metapopulation model, we examine how host heterogeneities, such as uneven movement patterns and local productivities, affect the evolution of pathogen virulence.
