Vertebrate morphology exhibits remarkable diversity, reflecting a complex interplay of developmental processes, genetic regulation and environmental pressures. This variation arises from a combination ...
G. Ledyard Stebbins (1906-2000)- an appreciation / Peter H. Raven -- Solution to Darwin's dilemma: discovery of the missing Precambrian record of life / J. William Schopf -- The chimeric eukaryote: ...
The present theory offers a unified solution to three closely related evolutionary problems. (1) Why does an evolving population explore only a small fraction of the accessible pathways in genotype ...
Origins Science Scholars Series—“Tracing Evolution: Where Modern Human Variation Comes from and Why”
The Origins Science Scholars Series will continue with a presentation by Cynthia Beall, Distinguished University Professor and the Sarah Idell Pyle Professor of Anthropology, titled “Tracing Evolution ...
A team of researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) has uncovered how a common color variation in frogs has helped them thrive and ...
Believe it or not, evolution isn’t blind or random chance. It is the natural result of having an advantage, even if it is very slight, that makes the difference between dying young or living to ...
In the October issue of The American Journal of Human Genetics, researchers present evidence that human evolution has led to a decrease in the prevalence of certain genetic variations that are ...
The concept of phenotypic trade-offs is a central element in evolutionary theory. In general, phenotypic models assume a fixed trade-off function, whereas quantitative genetic theory predicts that the ...
Most research in human genetics has historically focused on people of European ancestries—a long-standing bias that may limit the accuracy of scientific predictions for people from other populations.
