Orangutans Instinctively Use Hammers to Strike and Sharp Rocks to Cut

Biology, Evolution, Science /

Untrained, captive orangutans can finish two significant steps in the routine of stone tool use: striking rocks together and trimming utilizing a sharp stone, according to a research study by Alba Motes-Rodrigo at the University of Tübingen in Germany and colleagues, releasing February 16 in the open-access journal PLOS ONE. The researchers examined tool making […]

Protein “Big Bang” Reveals Molecular Makeup for Medicine as well as Bioengineering Applications

Bioinformatics, Biology, Cell Biology, Evolution, Molecular Biology, Science /

Proteins have been silently taking over our lives since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have been living at the whim of the virus’s so-called “spike” protein, which has altered dozens of times to develop increasingly fatal variants. However, the reality is, proteins have invariably ruled us. At the cellular degree, they are accountable

Without Evolutionary Genetic Variation, Asexual Invasive Species Discover New Techniques of Adjusting to Their Environment

Biology, Evolution, Genetics, Science /

Research from Wellesley University reveals that despite being a clonal insect variety, weevils utilize genetics policy to adjust to brand-new food sources and pass down epigenetic modifications to future generations. Without the advantages of evolutionary genetic variation that accompany meiotic reproduction, precisely how does an asexual invasive species adjust with time to a new setting

Sustained Fast Rates of Evolution Explain Exactly How Tetrapods Advanced From Fish

Biology, Evolution, Science /

One of the most critical questions in evolution is how and when significant groups of animals first evolved. The surge of tetrapods (all limbed vertebrates) from their fish relatives notes one of the most important evolutionary landmarks in the history of life. This “fish-to-tetrapod” shift occurred someplace in between the Middle and Late Devonian (approximately

New Study Helps Explain the Diversity of Life and “Paradox of Sex”

Biology, Evolution, Science /

There are significant differences in species numbers among the major branches of the tree of life. Some groups of organisms have numerous species, while others have some. For example, animals, plants, and fungi each have more than 100,000 known species, how most of the others– such as many algal and bacterial groups– have 10,000 or

Rare Upper Paleolithic Human Remains Found at the Cova Gran de Santa Linya Site

Archaeology, Biology, Evolution, Forensics, Science /

At the Cova Gran de Santa Linya site (La Noguera, Lleida), the remains of a female attributed to H. sapiens were discovered by scientists of the Centro Nacional de Investigación Sobre la Evolución Humana (CENIEH). The carbon-14 record of the sediments in the natural vessel where her remains were discovered shows that she lived in
