Summary: Researchers found that Italian brown bears living near humans evolved unique genetic and behavioral traits. The study suggests that prolonged human presence can quietly reshape how wild ...
If nonliving materials can produce rich, organized mixtures of organic molecules, then the traditional signs we use to ...
Biologists are closing in on a puzzle that seems to turn classic evolutionary logic inside out, yet may be so common that it ...
Lurking in the vast expanse of the ocean and buried deep in the Siberian permafrost, there are giants—not blue whales and ...
High in the forest canopy, one genus of snake learned how to solve the problem of flight without wings. Here’s how, according ...

A major evolutionary theory says most genetic changes don’t really matter, but new evidence suggests that’s not true. Researchers found that helpful mutations happen surprisingly often. The twist is ...
WIRED spoke with DeepMind’s Pushmeet Kohli about the recent past—and promising future—of the Nobel Prize-winning research ...
But some Neanderthal DNA helped modern humans survive and reproduce, and thus it has lingered in our genomes. Nowadays, ...
Some ants thrive by choosing numbers over strength. Instead of heavily protecting each worker, they invest fewer resources in ...
One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet ...
