Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan have identified the genes that allow an organism to switch between living as single ...

Scientists have discovered the fossil of what may be the earliest multicellular animal ever found. Dating back a billion years, the microscopic fossil contains two distinct cell types, potentially ...

Dinosaurs ruled the planet between 230 to 66 million years ago, although many other life forms had evolved well before their ...

In a groundbreaking experiment, researchers have brought a mouse to life with the help of a single-celled organism that existed long before any multicellular animals walked the earth. Genetic research ...

A billion-year-old fossil discovered in the Scottish Highlands may provide the "missing link" in how animals evolved. That "missing link" is the bridge between the transition of a single-celled ...

Over 3,000 generations of laboratory evolution, researchers watched as their model organism, 'snowflake yeast,' began to adapt as multicellular individuals. In new research, the team shows how ...

A lot has changed on Earth in just the last few decades, but for a recently revived microscopic creature, it has tens of thousands of years to catch up on. In a new study published this week in the ...
