Five major discoveries from 2021 are presented as milestones in human evolution research: the oldest figurative cave art in Indonesia, the earliest known Aboriginal figurative art and an Ice Age shell ...

This event is closed to the public. During the Holocene the scale and complexity of human societies increased dramatically. Generations of scholars have proposed different theories explaining this ...

This important study introduces an approach to discovering antibiotic resistance determinants by leveraging diverse susceptibility profiles among related mycobacterial species, with particular ...

To say that science and faith are not mutually exclusive based on historical examples of the myriad scientists who were also theists is not sufficient in determining whether or not science and faith ...

In tropical climates, lizards are everywhere. It can be a bit wild to see, and they come in all shapes and sizes. They seem a tad superfluous in such large varieties leaving one to wonder, what ...

Some colourful lizards and a mathematical formula from the finance sector have been used to build a new framework to model evolution. Developed by Dr Simone Blomberg from The University of ...

A long-held theory involving the quickened pace of evolution over short time frames could be explained by an “anomaly” revealed by researchers in a new study. This idea tends to hold that organisms ...

A new study proposes that statistical noise, not biological differences, may explain why evolution seems faster over shorter time frames, challenging long-standing assumptions about evolutionary rates ...

Summary: A new study suggests that perceived increases in evolutionary rates over short time periods might be due to statistical noise rather than inherent biological processes. Researchers found that ...

For decades, researchers have observed that rates of evolution seem to accelerate over short time periods – say five million years versus fifty million years. This broad pattern has suggested that ...
