Resume: Researchers studied the brain and body sizes of 1,500 species and found that larger animals do not have proportionally larger brains, challenging long-held beliefs. The study reveals that the relationship between brain and body size is curved, not linear. This discovery helps explain why humans and other species deviate from the norm in the … Read more
Resume: A new AI-powered study examines evolutionary differences between male and female birdwing butterflies, shedding new light on a historic debate between Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. Using machine learning to analyze more than 16,000 butterfly specimens, researchers found that both sexes contribute to species diversity. Males tend to show more variation, supporting Darwin’s … Read more

Resume: Humans may have evolved complex facial expressions to enhance social bonding. Analyzing more than 1,500 natural conversations, the study found that expressive individuals were more liked and better at achieving social goals. Expressive participants were easier to read and more successful in conflict negotiations. This suggests that facial expressiveness plays a crucial role in … Read more
Resume: New research shows that brain structures in humans, mice and fruit flies are near a phase transition, suggesting a universal principle. The study found that brain cells exhibit fractal patterns, indicating criticality. This discovery could improve computational models of brain complexity. The findings highlight a new dimension in understanding brain dynamics and structure. Key … Read more
Resume: Researchers created the first complete chromosome sequences of non-human primates, revealing significant variations in Y chromosomes between species. This groundbreaking study provides crucial insights into the rapid evolution of these chromosomes and previously undiscovered regions of great ape genomes. The research highlights how these sequences can influence our understanding of human evolution. The findings … Read more
