Researchers have found that male fruit flies can learn a new way to use their courtship song after an unusual social encounter. That fact suggests that the deviation in one of the most studied animals in biology is something that can change in a short time, even if the trait itself is inherited. Learning fly … Read more
Did the Neanderthals disappear from the earth, or are they still moving through our cells every day? A new statistical study suggests that our closest extinct cousins didn’t just die. Instead, they may have gradually mixed with the growing wave of Homo sapiens, leaving behind only a few genes. For anyone who has ever taken … Read more
