This important study introduces a new biology-informed strategy for deep learning models aiming to predict mutational effects in antibody sequences. It provides solid evidence that separating ...

Giant DNA viruses that infect eukaryotic cells are thought to have played a role in the evolution of life, according to the ...

The classification of one of the most complete human ancestor fossils ever discovered, the skeleton known as Little Foot, has been called into question by an international research team led from La ...

One of the most complete human ancestor fossils ever found may belong to an entirely new species, according to an ...

The pelvis is often called the keystone of upright movement. It helps explain how human ancestors left life on all fours ...

The Moroccan fossils now provide tangible evidence from this mysterious transitional period. What makes these fossils particularly significant is the precision with which they can be dated. The ...

Scientists may have cracked the case of whether a seven-million-year-old fossil could walk upright. A new study found strong ...

A tiny fossil fish from Alberta is forcing scientists to rethink a story that has sat quietly in textbooks for decades. It is ...

Fresh findings about arm and leg bones advance the debate over whether Sahelanthropus tchadensis was bipedal, but not ...

Evolutionary algorithms have emerged as a robust alternative to traditional greedy approaches for decision tree induction. By mimicking the natural selection process, these algorithms iterate over a ...

A new analysis of some fossil bones shows that adaptations for bipedal walking may go back 7 million years in the human family tree.
