Coevolution (Habitat 🌄)
In biology, coevolution occurs when two or more species reciprocally affect each other's evolution through the process of natural selection. The term sometimes is used for two traits in the same species affecting each other's evolution, as well as gene-culture coevolution. Charles Darwin mentioned evolutionary i...

It is a remarkably humbling realization that a single, unnoticed bite from an arthropod the size of an apple seed can completely rewrite an individual's relationship with the global food chain. Alpha-gal syndrome reminds us that the human immune system, for all its staggering sophistication and atomic-level precision, remains intimately and sometimes precariously tethered to the natural world.

The discovery of 1.4-million-year-old fossil footprints in northern Kenya preserves the tracks of eight Paranthropus boisei individuals, providing direct evidence of their anatomy, locomotion, and behavior.

Recent archaeological evidence indicates that modern humans (Homo sapiens) and Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) shared a continuous culture spanning over 20,000 years, engaging in deep behavioral and technological exchange.

Recent ancient DNA analysis has identified domestic dogs at archaeological sites dating to the Late Upper Paleolithic, roughly 16,000 to 14,000 years ago. This discovery pushes back the earliest confirmed genetic record of dog domestication by approximately 5,000 years, firmly placing their emergence prior to the advent of agriculture.

Sister group (Evolutionary biology 🧬)
In phylogenetics, a sister group or sister taxon, also called an adelphotaxon, comprises the closest relative of another given unit in an evolutionary tree.
