Medicine & TechnologyScientists found that the brain pays more attention to unfamiliar voices during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, indicating that it can learn even while asleep although it could do more harm than help because it should be at rest.
A new study observed a non-random mutation pattern in genes of a roadside weed known as the thale cress. The findings gave insights to how mutations work in the evolution of organisms, including humans.
Paleontologists suggest that most ankylosaurs are deaf and sluggish. The theory was based from fossil records of the dinosaur's braincase which was unearthed in Austria.
The Beijing-based Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing has now discovered evidence that this new COVID-19 variant may have evolved its large collection of uncommon mutations in mice.
Molecular ecologist Martha Riskind, from North Carolina State University, said with modern-sequencing technology and their insight of evolution, they are quite good at making short-term forecasts on what will happen after human extinction.
Extremely rare black tigers sport unusually wide and merged stripes that make them unique from most tigers. A new study has revealed the evolution at work that gave them their unique look.
Researchers from Flinders University found that the brain of an ancient big-headed fish had given insights on evolution, particularly on how the fish first left the waters and invaded the land.
A new study proposes that levels of salt on early oceans are much higher compared to the salinity today. The findings suggests a conclusive evidence to how halogens worked during the first phases of geological and atmospheric evolution of Earth.
Experts at the University of Tokyo examined the evolution of the facial structure of mammals using cellular studies that compare multiple embryos of different species.
Modern sponges were thought to emerge during the Neoproterozoic era but newly found sponge-like structures suggest that they emerged several hundred million years before the Great Oxidation Event, implying that they might have lived 890 million years ago.
Researchers estimated the recently discovered modern-looking true crabs are 100 million years old and they are a part of the most complete crustacean fossil ever conserved in a tree amber.
A new study identified how the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction changed the dietary evolution of snakes through investigation of their modern day counterparts.
Scientists say that the illusion of physical attractiveness has been programmed into the brain by the DNA that has been affected by human evolution for many years.
