An evolutionary architecture strategy ensures rapid responses to unforeseen events. Autonomously acting teams make informed ...

The oldest fossilized remains of complex animals appear suddenly in the fossil record, and as if from nowhere, in rocks that ...

An Australian study has shed light on a pest you’ve probably hosted at some point – and it has unearthed a new theory about ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel approach for automatic prompt optimization (APO) using a large language model (LLM) as an optimizer, named Prompt Evolution Through Examples (PETE). The approach ...

When Aristotle claimed that humans differ from other animals because they have the ability to be rational, he understood rational to mean that we could form our views and beliefs based on evidence, ...

The movement of genetic material between organisms that aren’t directly related is a significant driver of evolution, especially among single-celled organisms like bacteria and archaea. A team led by ...

An updated evolutionary model shows that living systems evolve in a split-and-hit-the-gas dynamic, where new lineages appear in sudden bursts rather than during a long marathon of gradual changes.

Directed evolution is a laboratory method that speeds up protein mutations to help create novel cancer and neurodegenerative disorder therapies. In a new study, scientists detail a method called ...

The Indigenous peoples of the Bolivian highlands are survivors. For thousands of years they have lived at altitudes of more than two miles, where oxygen is about 35 percent lower than at sea level.

Life on islands and cancer evolves under unique environmental pressures and acquire distinctive features. This manuscript is an attempt to find analogies between carcinogenesis and island biota ...

A new computer model suggests that the process of evolution can get better at evolving in the face of environmental change. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...
