When biology inspires mathematics: Hidden symmetries explain why widely used evolutionary methods can give false answers

Why do some groups of organisms contain thousands of species while others have only a handful? Evolutionary biologists have spent decades trying to answer this question using mathe...

Updating Darwin: biologists are returning to an older theory to explain anomalies in evolution

To make sense of some characteristics that species exhibit from birth, you have to turn to an old discredited theory known as Lamarckism.

Updating Darwin: Biologists are returning to an older theory to explain anomalies in evolution

Evolution is a fact of life. So much so that even the theory of evolution is evolving. Lately, a centuries-old discredited idea has been making a strong comeback. It helps us expla...

Orchids, Moths, and (Supposed) Evolutionary Predictions

What Adami has actually done is taken a prediction that has nothing to do with evolution and attribute it to evolutionary theory. Source
