Humans like to think that being multicellular (and bigger) is a definite advantage, even though 80% of life on Earth consists ...

Researchers found that cooperative fluid dynamics between single-celled organisms may have driven the evolution of ...

Previously believed to be plant or fungi, these giant organisms may have been a now-extinct fourth type of life.

Long-term studies at Georgia Tech and beyond show that evolution is happening right now. They capture the rise of new species ...

The fluid dynamics of cooperative feeding may have sparked single cells to assemble into complex, multicellular life, as ...

Researchers reveal Prototaxites, a giant Devonian fossil, was not a fungus or plant but a unique extinct lineage.

Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments ...

Scientists have debated where Prototaxites belong in the tree of life for over a century, but now a new study suggests it ...

Each lizard is unique. Some have longer legs, others stronger jaws, and all behave slightly differently. The differences ...

Scientists uncovered how whole-genome duplication emerges and remains stable over thousands of generations of evolution in the lab.

Enzymes originally evolved in high-temperature environments and later adapted to lower temperatures as Earth cooled. Scientists discovered that a key shift in enzyme function occurred over ...
