Researchers at the University of Maine are theorizing that human beings may be in the midst of a major evolutionary ...

Researchers discovered that autism’s prevalence may be linked to human brain evolution. Specific neurons in the outer brain evolved rapidly, and autism-linked genes changed under natural selection.

Are humans evolving more through culture than DNA? A new study explores how medicine, technology, and institutions may guide ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be the result of millions of years of evolution. Rapid neuronal evolution in humans is ...

Stanford study finds rapid brain cell evolution boosted human cognition but lowered autism gene activity, raising vulnerability.

Scientists digitally reconstructed a 1 million-year-old skull unearthed in China. The analysis suggests it may have belonged ...

Scientists have claimed in a new paper that humans are going through a significant evolutionary period right now. You might ...

Researchers discovered that certain human brain cells evolved unusually fast, altering autism-linked gene activity.

Learn why some researchers say that our culture – not genetics – is driving our evolution and what that could mean for our future.

A new study examines the evolutionary connection between the fine manipulation of objects and the associated development of ...

A new study suggests culture is reshaping human evolution faster than DNA, redefining how our species adapts, survives, and thrives.

Now some scientists claim in a new paper that culture has actually overtaken genetics as the leading force shaping human evolution, marking a major shift. Timothy Waring, an economist at the ...
