For years, evolutionary psychologists and biologists have investigated the idea that the shape of a man’s face can predict his behavior. A specific measurement known as the facial width-to-height ...

Researchers have found that DNA mutations are not random. This changes our understanding of evolution and could one day help researchers breed better crops or even help humans fight cancer. A simple ...

A new study examines mathematical models designed to draw inferences about how evolution operates at the level of populations of organisms. The study concludes that such models must be constructed ...

Some time ago I posted a blog proposing that many of the most common fears are related to evolutionary adaptation, Are we Born to be Afraid? I attempted to show how specific fears-that are universally ...

How will life on Earth and the ecosystems that support it adapt to climate change? Which species will go extinct – or evolve into something new? How will microbes develop further resistance to ...
