“Once a population has achieved this evolvability, it seems like it didn’t get erased by future evolution,” Zaman said. This ...

In the mid-19th century, Charles Darwin unveiled a revolutionary idea. Darwin’s On the Origin of Species crashed through the ...

A million years ago, when everything we encountered was shaped solely by forces of nature, something that began as a spark of ...

A new study by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology (MPI-EB) sheds fresh light on one of the most ...

They described evolution as a continuous, gradual change over time, but species are distinct from each other, suggesting that some process has created a discontinuity, or gap, between them.

Darwin viewed evolution by natural selection as a very gradual mechanism of change within populations, and postulated that new species could be the product of this very same process, but over even ...

The resulting evolution is accelerated and the gene pool is then skimmed for the offspring that exhibit viable traits, say company officials. "Morphogenics works on all organisms," explains Morphotek ...

A team of mathematicians and statisticians from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, the University of Tennessee and ...

It drove the development of methods for analyzing sequence data and focused scientists' attention on the essence of the evolutionary process.

In addition to new circuit innovations, a major driver for these improvements has been the advancement of fabrication process or technology nodes that essentially make electronic devices smaller and ...
