Cellular Evolution of Language
It is so much easier to reason after the fact and make up “just-so stories” than it is to actually determine the “how and why” of things. But we are...

Species-aware DNA language models capture regulatory elements and their evolution
BackgroundThe rise of large-scale multi-species genome sequencing projects promises to shed new light on how genomes encode gene regulatory...
-
Efficient evolution of human antibodies from general protein language models
Natural evolution must explore a vast landscape of possible sequences for desirable yet rare mutations, suggesting that learning from natural...
-
Valence-dependent mutation in lexical evolution
A central goal of linguistics is to understand how words evolve. Past research has found that macro-level factors such as frequency of word usage and...

Res Cogitans – The Evolution of Thinking
A somewhat prominent view in the literature is that language provides opportunity to program the brain with ‘cognitive gadgets’, or ‘virtual...

Tree Thinking and the Naturalisation of Language
This paper reconstructs Darwin’s reflections on the evolution of language to underline how his conclusions are fundamental to legitimating an...

Narrative Persuasion. A Cognitive Perspective on Language Evolution
This book explores the evolutionary and cognitive foundations of human communication, focusing on narrative as its distinctive dimension. Within a...

Predicting evolution acceptance among religious students using the predictive factors of evolution acceptance and reconciliation (pFEAR) instrument
Evolution is one of the controversial topics in biology primarily because of the perceived conflict between religion and evolution. Religiosity is...

Compositionality, Metaphor, and the Evolution of Language
One of the great unknowns in language evolution is the transition from unstructured sign combination to grammatical structure. This paper...

Quantitative systems-based prediction of antimicrobial resistance evolution
Predicting evolution is a fundamental problem in biology with practical implications for treating antimicrobial resistance, which is a complex...

Rapid genomic evolution in Brassica rapa with bumblebee selection in experimental evolution
BackgroundInsect pollinators shape rapid phenotypic evolution of traits related to floral attractiveness and plant reproductive success. However, the...

Chase-away evolution maintains imperfect mimicry in a brood parasite–host system despite rapid evolution of mimics
We studied a brood parasite–host system (the cuckoo finch Anomalospiza imberbis and its host, the tawny-flanked prinia Prinia subflava ) to test (1)...

LinG3D: visualizing the spatio-temporal dynamics of clonal evolution
BackgroundCancers are spatially heterogenous, thus their clonal evolution, especially following anti-cancer treatments, depends on where the mutated...

Evolution of Humanity
In 1952, Kinji Imanishi wrote a thought-provoking essay on the nature of animal societies. In this essay, he applied the concept of human culture...

Adaptive evolution and co-evolution of chloroplast genomes in Pteridaceae species occupying different habitats: overlap** residues are always highly mutated
BackgroundThe evolution of protein residues depends on the mutation rates of their encoding nucleotides, but it may also be affected by co-evolution...

Evaluating the current state of evolution acceptance instruments: a research coordination network meeting report
Hundreds of studies have explored student evolution acceptance because evolution is a core concept of biology that many undergraduate biology...

Reconsidering the goals of evolution education: defining evolution and evolutionary literacy
In this paper, I argue that for both theoretical and practical purposes, it is useful for science education to clearly distinguish between science...

Evolution hesitancy: challenges and a way forward for teachers and teacher educators
BackgroundIt has long been acknowledged that evolution is a difficult topic for many students, partly because of the conceptual demands it makes, and...

Deep history of cultural and linguistic evolution among Central African hunter-gatherers
Human evolutionary history in Central Africa reflects a deep history of population connectivity. However, Central African hunter-gatherers (CAHGs)...
