One hundred years ago, the small town of Dayton, Tenn., became the unlikely stage for one of the most sensational trials in American history, over the teaching of Darwin's theory of evolution.

A new study on earthworms suggests that evolution may have been a bit more start-and-stop than originally thought.

The study, published in Nature Ecology and Evolution, could challenge Darwin’s theory of evolution by showing that worms colonised land in evolutionary jumps.

In 1859, Darwin imagined evolution as a slow, gradual progress, with species accumulating small changes over time. But even he was surprised to find the fossil record offered no missing links: the ...

The “large, conspicuous” animals are often seen by divers in the Galapagos Islands but went misidentified for over 180 years — until now. Take a look.

Despite the islands’ seclusion and conservation-related restrictions, a trip to the archipelago is within reach of many travelers.

In other words, it’s an update to Darwin’s theory. Lord Howe Island is in some respects akin to the Galapagos or Madagascar: unique islands where evolution drives remarkable diversity of life.

In 2015, a genetic study in the journal Nature suggested that the hoatzin is the last surviving member of a bird line that branched off the evolutionary tree in its own direction 64 million years ...

Birds are the most diverse land vertebrate on the planet, and now scientists have constructed a complete evolutionary tree of the 11,000 or so known species.

The internet’s latest absurd obsession is: who would win in a no-rules fight between 100 average human men and one adult male gorilla? This hypothetical and strange question has taken over ...

In September 1835, Charles Darwin embarked on the HMS Beagle to the Galapagos Archipelago, where he observed unique species of plants and animals. His studies led him to question the prevailing ...
