A new study shows cultural evolution helped humans expand across Earth far faster than genetic change alone could achieve.

Humans really do rule the world. We took over fast and far, more than any other wild vertebrates. We inhabit nearly every ...

MPN-BP transformation is driven by sequential mutations disrupting genomic stability, with TP53 mutations being strong predictors of progression. TP53 mutations confer a selective growth advantage, ...

Research is shaking up how we think about evolution, suggesting there's a level of predictability influenced by genes and genetic history.

A potted scarlet monkeyflower would die within a few days without water. But multiple natural populations of the species ...

In Lake Malawi, hundreds of species of cichlid fish have evolved with astonishing speed, offering scientists a rare opportunity to study how biodiversity arises.

Wild scarlet monkeyflowers in California survived a historic drought by relying on a rapid evolution, marking the first time the process has been observed in the wild.
