Biologists are closing in on a puzzle that seems to turn classic evolutionary logic inside out, yet may be so common that it ...

A much-anticipated commercial computer game about evolution is getting a favorable response from some scholars, who welcome its interactive, engaging approach to the topic even though a few of its ...

From a pair of simple principles of evolution--chance mutation and natural selection--nature has constructed an almost unfathomable richness of life around us. Despite our scientific sophistication, ...

Scientists have used mathematical and computer modeling to demonstrate the impact of skin homeostasis on driver and passenger mutations. All normal human tissues acquire mutations over time. Some of ...
