Evolutionary biology and the fossil record reveal a great deal about the origins of chickens and eggs.
The fossil record tells conflicting stories about what happened to flowering plants after the asteroid.
The heat and chills that come with fever are not only uncomfortable but also metabolically costly. Increased body temperature, however, can make all the difference when you’re sick.

Flies often beat out competitors for food because of their specialized sensing organs called antennae.
Echidnas are seemingly everywhere in Australia, from the Red Centre to snowy mountains. And that’s just the start of what makes them interesting
New research sheds light on the interconnected nature of the human genome and what this means for future gene therapies.
Just as Darwin’s finches evolved specialised beaks to target prey, 3D modelling of 61 museum specimens reveals albatross beaks vary in size and shape for different diets. They can also drink seawater.
UFOs are back in the limelight after claims made by whistleblowers in the USA, but is it possible that aliens have visited Earth?
Humans have been making symbols for numbers for thousands of years. Different cultures developed their own symbols, but all use addition and multiplication, suggesting arithmetic is a universal truth.
