A new PNAS study finds identical genetic changes independently evolved in jellyfish lineages separated by more than 600 ...
Evolutionary genetics is the study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary change. It includes topics such as the evolution of genome structure, the genetic basis of speciation and adaptation, ...
Population genetics applies mathematical and statistical approaches to gene‐frequency changes over time and space, uniting genetics, evolutionary biology and anthropology to illuminate human origins, ...
A new study finds Indian spectacled cobras share a largely uniform genetic lineage, while Sri Lankan cobras form a distinct ...
The spectacled cobra (Naja naja) is one of India's "big four" snakes responsible for most serious snakebite cases. It is ...

Weak knees, smart brains: Israeli study gets to the bottom of genetic evolution
Weizmann Institute of Science researchers say a decrease in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) molecules in joints separated human ...
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. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...
The remarkable intelligence of octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish may trace back to an ancient reshuffling of their DNA that ...
Today, researchers from leading institutions, including the University of Manitoba, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Polar Bears International, the Norwegian Polar Institute, and San Diego Zoo ...
A just-published article in the journal Nature—“Ancient DNA reveals pervasive directional selection across West Eurasia,” (Akbari et al, 15 April 2026)—describes how the development of agriculture in ...
Hidden within fish DNA are powerful genetic twists that may explain one of nature’s biggest mysteries: how new species form so quickly. In Lake Malawi, hundreds of cichlid fish species evolved at ...
Molecular evolutionary biologist Masatoshi Nei says Darwin never proved natural selection is the driving force of evolution — because it isn't. In a cavernous concert hall, before an eager audience of ...
