Understanding the evolution of insect mating behavior is essential for explaining how early insects adapted to life on land.

If we look across the whole of the mammal branch of the tree of life, we find there are many groups of mammals that have evolved testicles of all different sizes. In almost all these separate cases, ...

An international team of researchers has developed a new theoretical framework that bridges physics and biology to provide a unified approach for understanding how complexity and evolution emerge in ...

The human body is a machine whose many parts—from the microscopic details of our cells to our limbs, eyes, liver and brain—have been assembled in fits and starts over the 4 billion years of our ...

Human evolution is often told as a tidy story of adaptation, yet some of our most familiar body parts still defy straightforward explanation. From the jut of the human chin to the curve of the outer ...

Understanding the evolution of insect mating behavior is essential for explaining how early insects adapted to life on land.

Science education is in danger of collapsing beneath nonscientific teachings, and the nation's biologists, social scientists, pathologists, chemists and others are worried enough to push back. It is ...

Scientists discovered a fossilized fish skull and were able to scan a well-preserved brain inside it, and this is a rare happening in the field of ancient findings. Researchers were unable to unearth ...

Yet modern biology has revealed that cells are preternaturally sophisticated assemblages — literally automated, miniaturized factories. How could the evidence have been overwhelming but now orthodoxy ...

This eclectic primer by Chakrabarty (A Guide to Academia), a biology professor at Louisiana State University, explores the science of evolution. The author expounds on three proposed explanations for ...

This explains why Darwinists have always insisted that evolutionary progress must be assumed to have always been very gradual, despite the evidence that it was not. Many people are not impressed by my ...
