Many people are familiar with the concept of natural selection and “survival of the fittest.” While modern humans may look like they’ve been at their “fittest” for hundreds of thousands of years, new ...
Humans are still evolving. Natural selection has favored genes linked to red hair and less male-pattern baldness, a study suggests
Some researchers hold that evolution hasn’t much altered humans in the past 10,000 years. A new analysis of ancient DNA indicates that natural selection continued to shape hundreds of genes.

Science Daily: Golden Retriever genes linked to anxiety, aggression, and intelligence in humans
Scientists studying 1,300 golden retrievers have uncovered genetic clues explaining why some dogs are more anxious, energetic, or aggressive than others. Remarkably, several of the same genes linked ...
