Also known as selective breeding, artificial selection is the human-guided cousin of evolution by natural selection. Instead ...

Chinese researchers recently uncovered molecular evidence supporting Lamarckism—a long-debated theory from the early 19th ...

Mounting evidence from genome studies indicates that, contrary to received wisdom, our species has undergone profound ...

Population genomics plays an important role in revealing population structure, genomic variation, natural selection and gene flow in a variety of different organisms. 3 For instance, population ...

Just outside the Revelstoke Mountain Resort boundaries lay the cliffside stomping grounds of the YETI Natural Selection Revelstoke competition. The two-day weather window opened with a fresh coat ...

Three key ingredients in natural selection are variation, inheritance and competition. Next there is inheritance. Many of these variable traits are inherited. Genes are passed on from one ...

Jason Drees, Arizona State University This may allow Daphnia pulex to more easily adapt to a change in their environment, as they have a greater degree of genetic variation Natural selection is ...

The early evolution of the genus Homo, which is estimated to have emerged 2.8 million years ago, is characterized by variation in fossils. In the past, this has been attributed to natural selection.

This study exemplifies a current approach in research that connects genetic targets of natural selection with complex disease genes - understanding, for example, how natural genetic variation ...

Natural selection is usually understood in the context ... there is a constraint caused by a lack of genetic variation." Not only did the trait respond, it did so very quickly.
