A study on Indo-European languages, using direct linguistic data, reconciles the two dominant hypotheses of where and how ...

In genetics, scientists must analyze the genomes of millions, if not billions, of people, each carrying millions of variants. It’s an unfathomable amount of data. Which leads us to another central ...

In the dim waters off the Japanese coast, scientists have stumbled upon something that shouldn’t exist. Or at least not by the rules we thought biology followed. It’s a single-celled organism with ...

T-REX was created in response to requests to be able to easily link phylogenetic and phenotypic information together and yield insights from this. This package consists of a GUI-enabled phylogenetic ...

The story of primates is a tale of incredible variety and ancient roots, told through the lens of science, DNA, and time itself. These creatures, ranging from massive gorillas to tiny mouse lemurs, ...
