2. Our genes are constantly changing Humans are not immune to the effects of natural selection, Joshua Akey, professor at Princeton University, tells Inverse.

Alleles, individuals, and species are all examples of entities possessing variation in the properties that underlie natural selection: branching (reproduction), persistence (survivorship), and ...

A famous example of this process can be found in the peppered moth, an insect native to Europe that once had light gray wings with dark dots. The peppered moth frequently camouflaged itself ...

After natural selection had worked its wonders for millions of years, transforming small-brained quadrupeds into large-brained bipeds, it appeared that biological evolution had slowed to a crawl ...

Two specific examples of sociobiological reasoning which both purport to explain altruism, kin selection and reciprocal altruism, provide an example of tautological reasoning. In terms of both logic ...

The unexpected discovery of a new type of genetic variation suggests that natural selection -- the force that drives evolution -- is both more powerful and more complex than scientists have thought.

Professor Liu and her team have identified evidence for natural selection and host adaptation in SARS-CoV-2 in mink, with a great number of variations also found between other mammal hosts.

Also known as selective breeding, artificial selection is the human-guided cousin of evolution by natural selection. Instead of letting nature decide who reproduces, we do.
