The human brain is one of the most complex structures in nature, but the brain's origins stretch back hundreds of millions of years. A new study using AI deep-learning models has revealed more about ...

Eighty-six billion interconnected neurons comprise the human brain, the product of billions of years of evolution. However, the mechanisms supporting the evolution of this remarkable structure over ...

Sea urchins look like an inanimate bundle of needles, but a closer look at these alien-like creatures reveals a surprisingly ...

These days, dragons are keeping Game of Thrones fans on their toes. But they are also providing important insights into vertebrate brain evolution, as revealed by the work of Max Planck scientists on ...

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research have studied the brains of Australian bearded dragons, Pogona vitticeps, to gain insight into how the brains of vertebrates evolved. Early ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the process differed from the evolution of chimpanzees. For the study, published ...

The longer the thumb, the bigger the brain, evolution study suggests By Pranjal Malewar September 07, 2025 The research found the bigger a primate's brain the longer its thumbs were, affirming a ...

Scientists have uncovered new evidence suggesting that autism may have it roots in how the human brain has evolved. "Our results suggest that some of the same genetic changes that make the human brain ...

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as "junk" and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study published in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show ...

Humans, who are classified among the five great apes, are closest genetically, i.e., DNA similarity, to chimpanzees (98.8%-99%) and bonobos (98.8%). [Blueringmedia ...
