Did you know humans might have had a third eye, if it weren't for evolution? A common misconception is that evolution is a long chain of progress, where organisms gain cool, new features over time.

Learn how repeated burn injuries may have acted as a form of natural selection, influencing human genes linked to healing and ...

Humans' exposure to high temperature burn injuries may have played an important role in our evolutionary development, shaping ...

To identify possible burn-injury response genes, researchers examined the transcriptomes (the genes expressed) in both burnt and unburnt skin from humans and rats. Examining the gene sequences, they ...

Some ecologists even refer to our current epoch as the “Pyrocene,” acknowledging how fire has altered the environment. But ...
