Sexual reproduction usually reshuffles genetic information, creating offspring that differ from their parents. But one small plant takes an unexpected route. In a new study, now published in Nature, ...

A new study combines palaeoanthropology and diving physiology to address a fundamental question in human evolution: why did humans evolve their exceptional aerobic endurance? Did our ancestors begin ...

Orangutan infants spend their first eight years with their mothers, and throughout this time, they can draw on her knowledge. After that, however, orangutans are entirely on their own. To fare well as ...
