Researchers at the University of Maine are theorizing that human beings may be in the midst of a major evolutionary shift—driven not by genes, but by culture. "Human evolution seems to be changing ...

Many people believe that we humans have conquered nature through the wonders of civilization and technology. Some also believe that because we are different from other creatures, we have complete ...

As global warming accelerates, extreme heatwaves are causing widespread death of tropical reef corals. Most corals rely on tiny algae cells living within their tissues that photosynthesise and produce ...

Humans owe their highly flexible shoulders and elbows to their ape ancestors, an evolutionary gift that once acted as a natural braking system for safe tree descent. According to a new study published ...

The new study challenges the long-held view of evolution as a purely random or chaotic process, suggesting instead that ...
