Are humans evolving more through culture than DNA? A new study explores how medicine, technology, and institutions may guide ...

A paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution finds that the relatively high rate of autism-spectrum disorders in humans is likely due to how humans evolved in the past. The paper is titled "A general ...

Learn why some researchers say that our culture – not genetics – is driving our evolution and what that could mean for our future.

Autism-linked genes evolved rapidly in humans. They may have aided brain growth and language. A recent study published in Molecular Biology and Evolution by Oxford University Press suggests that the r ...

An international team of researchers has developed a new theoretical framework that bridges physics and biology to provide a unified approach for understanding how complexity and evolution emerge in ...

Researchers discovered that certain human brain cells evolved unusually fast, altering autism-linked gene activity.

Human evolution has often been depicted as a process of adaptation, where natural selection and genetic changes drive species ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be the result of millions of years of evolution. Rapid neuronal evolution in humans is ...

A new study suggests culture is reshaping human evolution faster than DNA, redefining how our species adapts, survives, and ...

A chance discovery in a Vermont cheese cave has given scientists a rare glimpse of evolution unfolding in real time – and the ...
