Meet “Darwin’s Monster”: The Australian three-toed skink. This a transitional species that is part egg-layer, part live-bearer — evolution you can see!

You may have read online that dinosaurs once lived alongside humans. Here we look at what the real scientific observations suggest.

You hear about genes all the time in the news and in the movies, but what exactly is a gene? Here we learn what genes are and how they evolve.

Ever confuse DNA, Genes, and Chromosomes? If so, don’t worry, we straighten all of this out right here!

If evolution is all about “survival of the fittest”, how does cooperation evolve?

Here we see how new genetic information evolves via gene duplications followed by point mutations.

Point mutations are the simplest natural mechanisms known to increase the genetic information of a population.

Natural Selection is one of the main concepts found within the theory of evolution. See how it works!
