Scientists have reconstructed the head of an ancient human relative from 1.5 million year-old fossilized bones and teeth. But ...

Usually, when someone starts talking about the interface between evolution and physics, it's a prelude to a terrible argument that attempts to claim that evolution can't possibly happen. So, ...

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 ...

Why did humans evolve the eyes we have today? While scientists can't go back in time to study the environmental pressures ...

In most vertebrates, skin appendages such as hair, feathers, or scales originate from placodes—small, specialized skin regions whose spatial organization is controlled by well-conserved genetic ...

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 ...

Over time, particle physics and astrophysics and computing have built upon one another’s successes. That coevolution continues today. In the mid-twentieth century, particle physicists were peering ...

Cooperation has been a more important evolutionary jorce in the development of man than has the bitter competitive struggle for existence. So asserted a learned U.S. biologist last week in an attack ...

The Drexel University master’s degree in Ecology, Evolution and Earth Systems (EEES) offers full- and part-time plans of study to meet the needs and career goals of students, such as those who would ...
