A new study theorizes that evolution ticks at different speeds, especially when a big group of organisms first appears.

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 ...

Nobody likes to wait, and we are willing to pay to avoid it. Expedited shipping, fast food and video streaming are all profitable because they reduce or eliminate that wait. You can test this by ...

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 ...

Researchers named the species Kermitus after Kermit the Frog. Scientists have discovered a new ancient amphibian species that could bridge the gap in understanding how modern-day frogs and salamanders ...

New research explains how dust links the formation, evolution, and fate of stars and planets, and why future telescopes are needed to observe these processes in detail ...

Bite force, a measure of the strength of an animal's bite, helps researchers understand a species' role in the ecosystem.

Selection in Assembly Space. (A) Pictorial representation of the assembly space represents the formation of combinatorial object space from building blocks and physical constraints. (B) Observed copy ...
