From the genius and torment of Charles Darwin to the scientific revolution that spawned the tree of life, from the power of sex to drive evolutionary change to the importance of mass extinctions ...

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 ...

As a result, biologists have begun to consider how organismal-level traits such as life history could influence variation in molecular evolution across the tree of life. This is a central pursuit ...

“Evolution isn't just a story about where we came from. It's an epic at the center of life itself.”– Kenneth R. Miller, Biologist, Brown University If you are reading this sentence, you’re ...

But evolution suggests otherwise. Science writer and consultant Elena Bridgers (@elena.bridgers) took to Instagram to debunk the two-year ideal, explaining that, for most of human history ...

With its potential to fuel future discoveries in evolutionary biology, this work represents an important step in understanding how life evolves on both a short-term and long-term scale.
