Imagine if the genetic deck had been shuffled slightly differently as some of the earliest life forms began their evolutionary paths. Might a creature just as smart as us -- or even smarter ...

To explain the remarkable diversity of life histories among species we must understand how evolution shapes organisms to optimize their reproductive success. The principal aim of life history ...

An international collaboration has published groundbreaking research, shedding light on the most significant increase in complexity in the history of life's evolution on Earth: the origin of the ...

This marked eukaryogenesis and divides the evolution of life into two distinct phases: a coding phase (Prokarya) and a non-coding phase (Eukarya). Additionally, characteristic phenomena of these ...
