brains / evolution / jellyfish / learning / Science and Technology

Despite simple brains, jellyfish are smarter than we thought

Jellyfish can learn at a much more complex level than ever imagined, despite only having one thousand nerve cells and no centralized brain.

evolution / Science and Technology / temperature

How did eukaryotes evolve for extreme temps?

Researchers are investigating microbial eukaryotic life in extreme environments, like Lassen National Park’s geothermal lake.

evolution / natural selection / plants / Science and Technology

Natural selection may pump the brakes on evolution

Natural selection is usually understood in the context of change, but new findings suggest that natural selection also has the power to keep things the same.

Team solves puzzle of when bees first evolved

Bees first evolved more than 120 million years ago and diversified faster and spread wider than previously thought.

birds / climate change / evolution / Science and Technology / size / temperature

Birds clarify evolutionary ‘dance’ between size and temp

A new study clarifies the relationship between temperatures and changes in the size of the body parts of animals.

evolution / fossils / rocks / Science and Technology

Rocks hint at when the first animals appeared on Earth

Pinpointing when animals first appeared on Earth is like finding a needle in a very old, planet-sized haystack. A new study narrows the search.

Australia / biodiversity / climate / evolution / migration / Science and Technology

Why Australia has lots of kangaroos, but no tigers

Why did more animal species from Asia make the leap to Australia than vice versa? A new study may have some answers.

evolution / Science and Technology

Eukaryotes may all derive from an Asgard ancestor

“This is really exciting because we are looking for the first time at the molecular blueprints of the ancestor that gave rise to the first eukaryotic cells.”

early humans / evolution / hair / Science and Technology / temperaure

Did curly hair keep early humans cool?

Curly hair may have kept early humans cool while conserving water at the same time, according to new research.

chimpanzees / evolution / Featured / relationships / Science and Technology

Did hetero love evolve from same-sex friendship?

A new hypothesis ‘raises the possibility that romantic love in humans finds its origin in same-sex friendships of apes.”
