The human chin is uniquely human, and the assumption has always been that it must have evolved for a specific purpose, ...

But they disagree on whether studying social genomics—elucidating any potential genetic contributions to behaviors ranging from mental illnesses to educational attainment to political affiliation—can ...

The common view of natural selection is based solely on the individual: A trait allows an organism to out-compete its rivals and is thus passed down to its offspring.

Abstract: Backed by sophisticated neural networks (NNs) that simulate the functions of the human brain, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has positioned itself to address complex problems in intelligence, ...

When I was a student teacher, I had a conversation with a science teacher I worked with about natural selection. I asked if ...

New research challenges the one-level view of evolution, showing natural selection works on individuals and groups together.

“The chin evolved largely by accident and not through direct selection, but as an evolutionary byproduct resulting from direct selection on other parts of the skull,” says Noreen von Cramon-Taubadel, ...

Survival of the fittest. Nature red in tooth and claw. The common view of natural selection is based solely on the individual: A trait allows an organism to out-compete its rivals and is thus passed ...

Abstract: As audio adversarial attacks continue to evolve, Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models have emerged as a significant target. Traditional audio attack methods often focus on minimizing ...

Biologists have debated the reason why Homo sapiens evolved a prominent lower jaw, but this unique feature may actually be a ...
