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.

The researchers extended their analysis to eight exemplary fossil species from four continents spanning 300 million years of evolution. The species ranged from the 35g proto-mammal Megazostrodon ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
