While many studies have looked at possible evolutionary links between men's strength and sexual behavior, a Washington State University study included data on women with a surprising result. Women, as ...

Trying to understand human behavior (a basic feature of our species, shaped by natural selection) without understanding evolutionary principles would be like trying to understand the details of a car ...

An eye-opening genetic study recently published in Science Advances explores the genetic connection between human bisexual behavior and a previously unknown reproductive advantage. Ph.D. student ...

Scientists have long wondered whether evolution would follow the same path if history had a chance for a “do-over.” New research suggests that it does, when it comes to the brain and its regulation of ...

The study of animal behaviour in ecological and evolutionary contexts examines how behavioural traits develop, persist and interact with environmental challenges. Research in this field investigates ...

John Maynard Smith is best known for his use of mathematical analyses in biology. Trained as an engineer and then as a biologist, Smith applied game theory to animal behavior and found that although ...

In the spring, ants are once again hard at work. Beyond their everyday presence, ants are also key model organisms in cutting-edge evolutionary genetics research, helping scientists understand how ...
