Where do the cooperative skills that hold together human societies come from and why don’t our selfish instincts overwhelm them? Evolutionary game theory suggests that empathy is a crucial contributor.

The genes in our cells’ mitochondria are passed on in a different way than the vast majority of our DNA. New studies shed light on how the unique process isn’t derailed by mutations.
An ancient sexual conflict over mitochondrial inheritance may be responsible for the evolution of the two sexes as we know them.
Et la vie fut, il y a 3,7 milliards d’années… Mais où est-elle apparue ? Et comment ? L’hypothèse d’une naissance au fond des océans s’oppose à celle de la « soupe primordiale ».
New research suggests the “primordial soup” theory can’t explain how living cells evolved to harness energy.
