What makes the human brain different from that of other primates has long been a question. A new study suggests that the ...

Directed evolution is a laboratory technique that mimics natural selection and allows scientists to evolve genes and the ...

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 ...

Autism-linked genes evolved rapidly in humans. They may have aided brain growth and language. A recent study published in ...

Researchers discovered that certain human brain cells evolved unusually fast, altering autism-linked gene activity.

Stanford study finds rapid brain cell evolution boosted human cognition but lowered autism gene activity, raising vulnerability.

Behe touts the concept of ‘irreducible complexity,’ asserting that certain biological systems cannot evolve through gradual ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be the result of millions of years of evolution. Rapid neuronal evolution in humans is likely ASD’s genetic cause, new research suggests. Though autism can cause ...

Molecular evolutionary biologist Masatoshi Nei says Darwin never proved natural selection is the driving force of evolution — because it isn't. In a cavernous concert hall, before an eager audience of ...

Assembly theory bridges the gap between physics and biology in explaining how complex objects are identifiable as products of evolution and how reusability of parts allows novelty and identical ...
