Evolve: Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Technologies to Enable Superhuman Capabilities” by Sharon ...

Artificial intelligence has painted a startling picture of human evolution, suggesting that by the year 3025, our species could bear little resemblance to its current form. Prolonged digital immersion ...

Life on Earth began in a way that still boggles the mind. Around 4.5 billion years ago, a chemical process called abiogenesis occurred, where life emerged from non-life. Imagine a hot, watery mix of ...

Scientists once thought that planning required a primate brain. Experiments with birds are now proving that assumption wrong.

A paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution finds that the relatively high rate of autism-spectrum disorders in humans is likely due to how humans evolved in the past. The paper is titled "A general ...

Humans have lived with fire for over a million years. Scientists now say burn injuries may have influenced human evolution and healing.

Mastering fire may have also led to genetic changes that helped early humans survive mild burn injuries, but this evolutionary trait could complicate the treatment of more severe cases today. An early ...

Share on Pinterest Human brain cell evolution may be linked to autism, neurodiversity, according to a new study. Image credit: Lauren Lee/Stocksy A new study concludes that the speed at which the ...

A lost chapter in human evolution has been revealed after an analysis of modern DNA found that we come from not one but two ancestral populations—ones that drifted apart and later reconnected long ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be the result of millions of years of evolution. Rapid neuronal evolution in humans is likely ASD’s genetic cause, new research suggests. Though autism can cause ...
