Many South African teachers don’t accept the theory of evolution. They feel deeply conflicted when they have to teach it to their pupils as part of the life sciences curriculum.

We drew inspiration from nature’s response to complexity to help program the winning team in this year’s RoboCup Simulation League.
Humans can more easily tolerate tumours in large or paired organs than in small, critical ones. This could be why the latter have evolved more cancer-fighting mechanisms.
The Nullarbor is an arid, treeless expanse today. But several hundred thousand years ago it was home to a menagerie of species, including two newly discovered giant cuckoo-like birds.
How new species are created is at the core of the theory of evolution. Mammals may be a good example of how sex chromosome change drove major groups apart.
Our planet’s huge range of environments has led some animals to evolve some bizarre but very useful features.
To understand how some creatures evolved, you need to see how their brain developed over millions of years. That’s now possible thanks to some clever use of scanning technology.
Islands are very special when it comes to quirks of evolution.
Human activity doesn’t just reduce biodiversity – new research explores how we are continually creating new species and ecosystems, too.
A lot of people thought America’s religious right was losing its mojo – but it’s still got the wherewithal to build a $172m ark.
Many digital games claiming to simulate evolution are inaccurate. These errors can undermine the games’ potential educational benefits.
Earth is the only planet in our solar system with both plate tectonics and life. Is there a connection?
A tiny pit on mammal-like animals’ snouts has revealed a great deal about how mammalian hair originated.
One of the enduring controversies in evolution is why snakes evolved their long, limbless bodies. A new study suggests snakes may have lost their legs at sea, before crawling ashore.
New research reveals that mammals didn’t wait for the dinosaurs to die out before starting their rapid spread.
The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is rising faster than at any point in the past 55 million years.
New research shows that street lighting changes the activity of moths, and is likely to disrupt nocturnal pollination.
Transport, climate change and environmental destruction mean all sorts of species are bumping into each other for the first time.
When seeing or hearing something poignant, many get the chills. But about one-third of the population doesn’t feel this sensation.
The genes controlling nose shape can reveal a lot about our evolutionary history.
