Biological Evolution, 2020 Biological evolution, the theory of natural selection and of common descent, is a triumph both of human reasoning and scientific undertaking. The biological discipline of evolution contains both a chronicle of human endeavour and the story of life on Earth.

Acceptance of Biological Evolution by First-Year Life Sciences University Students [PDF]
Science Education, 2020 Lack of acceptance of biological evolution, despite the overwhelming evidence that supports it, can be very problematic in higher education courses that have a strong biological basis.

Quasi-Equilibrium States and Phase Transitions in Biological Evolution [PDF]
EntropyWe developed a macroscopic description of the evolutionary dynamics by following the temporal dynamics of the total Shannon entropy of sequences, denoted by S, and the average Hamming distance between them, denoted by H. We argue that a biological system

Temperature controls carbon cycling and biological evolution in the ocean twilight zone
Science, 2021 Getting more pumped It is thought that the ocean's biological carbon pump, the process that transfers organic matter from the surface to the deep ocean, should be sensitive to climate change because temperature controls photosynthesis and respiration ...

The Universal Grammar of Evolution [PDF]
Философия и космология, 2022 The evolution (sensu lato) of the cosmos can be divided in three phases: cosmological evolution (sensu stricto), biological evolution and cultural evolution. Analogies between biological and cultural evolution date from the nineteenth century although it

Algorithmically probable mutations reproduce aspects of evolution, such as convergence rate, genetic memory and modularity [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Natural selection explains how life has evolved over millions of years from more primitive forms. The speed at which this happens, however, has sometimes defied formal explanations when based on random (uniformly distributed) mutations.

Study of Modern Human Evolution via Comparative Analysis with the Neanderthal Genome [PDF]
Genomics & Informatics, 2013 Many other human species appeared in evolution in the last 6 million years that have not been able to survive to modern times and are broadly known as archaic humans, as opposed to the extant modern humans.

Bacterial N4-methylcytosine as an epigenetic mark in eukaryotic DNA
Nature Communications, 2022 Eukaryotic DNA can be methylated as 5-methylcytosine and N6-methyladenine, but whether other forms of DNA methylation occur has been controversial. Here the authors show that a bacterial DNA methyltransferase was acquired >60 Mya in bdelloid rotifers ...
