For years, the story of recent human evolution looked relatively quiet. Scientists studying ancient human DNA had found only ...

Scientists and reef managers are calling for ‘assisted evolution’ to help accelerate coral reef adaptation in the face of ...

Assisted evolution could help corals survive future heat waves, but careful trait choice and strong repeated selection will ...

Ancient DNA reveals how farming accelerated human evolution, driving genetic changes over the past 10,000 years.

The human genome of West Eurasia has been far more affected by natural selection in the last 10,000 years than previously ...

Another complication is that sustained genetic variation does not emerge exclusively as a result of natural selection.

Learn more about new research that analyzed 16,000 ancient genomes and discovered that natural selection hasn’t slowed down.
