Evolutionary genetics is the study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary change. It includes topics such as the evolution of genome structure, the genetic basis of speciation and ...

A new study explores how rhythm and language share genetic and brain connections, shedding light on their evolutionary roots.

A new study reveals the remarkable evolutionary history of anglerfish, deep-sea creatures whose unusual adaptations.

Could genes from the dawn of life hold the key to a stem cell revolution? A groundbreaking experiment could make it reality.

A new study reveals shared genetic underpinnings between musical rhythm abilities and language-related traits, including dyslexia.

Anglerfish are among the ocean’s most bizarre creatures. This group of deep-sea dwellers are best known for the ...

Human evolution, traditionally driven by natural selection, may have reached a point where technological and medical ...

Scientists piece together genetic links between chimpanzee groups over thousands of years and discovered a surprisingly ...

Chimpanzees are known for their remarkable intelligence and use of tools, but could their cultures also evolve over time like human cultures? A new, multidisciplinary study suggests that some of their ...

Researchers claim we might develop “super senses” like enhanced vision, hearing and smell to detect threats and find food.

A study has revealed that genetic variants associated with higher likelihood of rhythm impairments tended to be also associated with higher likelihood of dyslexia. The reverse was also the case: ...

This variability may be part of a bet-hedging strategy, where populations express a range of phenotypes to ensure survival in unpredictable environments. In addition phenotypic variability between ...
