It turns out the human ear got off to a fishy start. Literally. A fascinating new study reveals that the mammalian outer ear has its evolutionary roots in the gills of ancient fish. This ...

While we don’t evolve from fish into humans in the womb, our early development holds clues about the ancient origins of our species (Gilbert, 2013). Exploring our biology and discovering why we ...

While the common ancestor of vertebrates with synovial joints is still a mystery, the oldest specimen with evidence of these ...

A multidisciplinary team of researchers led by Dr. Alejandra Pascual-Garrido, Research Affiliate at the School of ...

Deep-sea fish adapt to some of the most extreme conditions on Earth. New research analyzing their evolution finds the same ...

New research analyzing their evolution finds the same mutation across fish species that have evolved on separate timelines — alongside human-made pollutants contaminating the deep sea.

Researchers used powerful tech to analyse thousands of individual cells at once, considering which genes are active and how DNA is organised within each cell.

Researchers have widely accepted that what sets humans apart from nonhuman primates are prefrontal cortex–driven behaviors ...

Dec. 20, 2022 — Modern humans evolutionarily split from our chimpanzee ancestors nearly 7 million years ago, yet we are continuing to evolve. 155 new genes have been identified within the human ...

When evolution skeptics want to attack Darwin's theory, they often point to the human eye. How could something so complex, they argue, have developed through random mutations and natural selection ...
