Imagine a cosmic clock where the ticks mark major evolutionary leaps.
What Is the Human Microbiome and How Does It Influence Health?
The human gut alone harbors over 100 trillion microorganisms, encoding more than 3 million genes — a genetic library vastly larger than our own human genome.
What is the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis?
In 2014, a prominent article in Nature directly posed the question: 'Does evolutionary theory need a rethink?
What is Assembly Theory and why does it challenge definitions of life?
A 2023 paper, "Assembly theory explains and quantifies selection and evolution," proposed a new framework for life, but its very title immediately drew criticism for being misleading.
