Today’s mammals are the product of 200 million years of evolution, but scientists aren’t sure exactly how features of modern mammals came to be. A twin pair of studies published in the journal tackles ...
One of the most important steps in the evolution of modern mammals was the development of highly sensitive hearing. The middle ear of mammals, with an eardrum and several small bones, allows us to ...
Olfactory receptor (OR) genes, representing the largest multigene family in mammalian genomes, have undergone extensive evolutionary modifications characterised by dynamic patterns of gene duplication ...

A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...
The sense of smell is vital for animals, as it helps them find food, protect themselves from predators and interact socially. An international research team led by Dr Quentin Martinez and Dr Eli Amson ...
In the mice with large-brain primate microbes, the researchers found increased expression of genes associated with energy ...
