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

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

In a new study published in Science, a Belgian research team explores how genetic switches controlling gene activity define ...

Three studies of the brain regions responsible for processing sensory information show that their neurons are and communicate ...

Scientists confirm that orcas and dolphins have lost the ability to return to dry land due to irreversible evolutionary ...

"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 ...

The brains of birds and mammals have diverged substantially during the course of evolution. A research team at the Center for Molecular Biology of Heidelberg University has investigated how similar ...

All living mammals today, including us, descend from the one line that survived. During the next 145 million years of evolution, the dominance of dinosaurs ensured that our distant mammalian ...

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 ...

Although they came into their own only after the extinction of the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago, mammals had maintained a low-profile existence for some 150 million years before that.
