Thanks to the efforts of Mark Stoneking and his colleagues at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, the old evolutionary model of a stooped skeleton progressively leading towards a more anatomically recognizable form, is going the way of the Dodo.

Evolution has added to the diversity of plants and animals throughout the history of the earth, and humans have been screwed out of a few evolutionary feats.

A critique and application of the Attachment Parenting model through the lens of evolutionary biology. What can we learn from theories of the evolution of the mother-infant bond, and the role of community in child rearing?

The evolutionary preference between intracellular and extracellular digestion in animals

A closer look at some of the evolutionary themes of NBC's drama, "Heroes"

Discover how all the different species of animal and plant life on the planet live, how they came to pass, and how they co-exist in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.

Stanley Miller's 1953 experiment demonstrated the possibility of spontaneous synthesis of amino acids from inorganic compounds. A logically consistent evolutionary origin for life itself has been posited, which this 70th essay of "A Rational Cosmology" explains.

What does evolutionary reasoning have to tell us about the territorial behaviors of humans today? Mr. Stolyarov uses evolution and experimental observations to explain why people have both physical and emotional "comfort zones."

Evolutionary theory can explain a variety of interesting developments among the higher animals, including internal temperature regulation, the emergence of Chordata -- the phylum to which humans, too, belong -- and the origins of advanced modes of feeding.

The world is hungry for the next step in evolution, the development of intuition.

Eugenics can solve our evolutionary shortcomings. But only through legislation that promotes selective breeding. This is immoral, so humans are generally screwed, from an evolutionary standpoint.

Major new studies aim to explore evolution at the cellular and genetic levels and compare result to biological evidence and fossil records.

The central tenet of evolution is that survival goes to those who best fit to adapt. But does that always mean that bigger is better?

The process of evol;ution is neither orderly or directed; false starts, bad directions have occured and will occur. Societal interference compounds the problems.

A Look at Evolution Options

Anthrologists have learned a great deal about early hominids through their study of chimpaness and bonobos, two similar but very different primate cousins.

What makes human beings different from other mammals on our planet? Does the difference lie in evolution or divine intervention. The debate rages on.

Information on archaeopteryx, an extinct species of bird-like animal from the Jurassic Period

Both Percy and Mary Shelly wrote titanic works of literature that in part examine how rebellion against tyrannical parents is a natural state of affairs.

A survey of Earth's Cambrian Period.

Cleveland paleontologist names the new species, thought to be an evolutionary step between dinosaurs with large horns and small-horned animals that came later.

Evolutionary psychology has postulated that ancient biological roles can explain men and women's differing responses to jealousy. Does this theory hold up in todays much-changed society, though?

The question of the wealth of nations has been the center of economics for more than two centuries (Lesson et al., 2004: 235). The evolutionary process of the economy and society has not been a linear one. No one single model of economic growth has dominated society.

The creationist camp has itself evolved into Intelligent Design, or I.D. In this article I outline its agenda for the teaching of creationism in public schools, and the phasing out of evolutionary theory from core curricula.

While gift giving often symbolizes love, care, or an apology, humans are hardwired to give and receive presents for very particular reasons. The advancement and evolution of humans has gift giving at its root.

The Taj Mahal is truly priceless as its creation was developed by different people at various times over two decades. The design was evolutionary as materials and the craftsmen came from China, Italy, and India.

Although sexual cannibalism is not uncommon among spiders, male Austrailian redback spiders may actually derive evolutionary benefits from being eaten by their mates.

The evolutionary success of ants is largely due to their ability to communicate via chemical pheromones and their acute sensitivity to other biochemical cues. .Like computers, the chemically programmed ant is susceptible to evolutionary "hackers".

The emergence of evolutionary theory in the early nineteenth century quaked political and societal realms. Today, the aftershocks continue as terms such as "natural selection" and "survival of the fittest" are both applied and exploited.
