Scientists found that evolution led bird and mammal brains to evolve separately, using different genetic instructions.

Two studies published in the latest issue of Science have revealed that birds, reptiles, and mammals have developed complex ...

The brains of birds and mammals have diverged substantially during the course of evolution. A research team led by Prof. Dr Henrik Kaessmann at the ...

"The reorganization of synapsid jaws through this time has long been known as a big step towards the evolution of mammals," added Dr. Armin Elsler, a collaborator on the study. "These changes don ...
