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.
A study presents a striking example of cooperative organization among cells as a potential force in the evolution of multicellular life. The study is based on the fluid dynamics of cooperative feeding by Stentor, a relatively giant unicellular organism.
Disease forecasts are like weather forecasts: We cannot predict the finer details of a particular outbreak or a particular storm, but we can often identify when these threats are emerging and prepare accordingly.
Humans like to think that being multicellular (and bigger) is a definite advantage, even though 80% of life on Earth consists of single-celled organisms—some thriving in conditions lethal to any beast.
