Kissing: A Non-Universal Cultural Practice
A Sapiens magazine study reveals that kissing is not a universal human behavior, with less than half of 150 cultures studied engaging in it; prevalence correlates with social class stratification, suggesting complex evolutionary and social factors. Alternative theories propose origins in insect remo...

From Gene-Centric to Cell-Centric: A Biological Analogy for Social Cooperation
This article contrasts the gene-centric view of life, emphasizing competition, with the cell-centric view, highlighting cooperation, using the analogy of society as an organism to critique the use of genetic determinism to justify social inequalities.

New Study Suggests Intelligent Life Is More Common Than Previously Thought
A new study published in Science Advances challenges the 'hard steps' theory of intelligent life evolution, arguing that human evolution was a natural planetary process likely to have occurred on other Earth-like planets, increasing the probability of extraterrestrial intelligence.

Bonobos Demonstrate Human-like Empathy in Cooperative Task
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University found that bonobos can assess a human's knowledge and share their own information to achieve a common goal in a cooperative task, demonstrating a level of empathy previously thought unique to humans.

Snow Leopard Fossil Study Reveals Evolutionary Path and Conservation Implications
An international team's study published in Science Advances reveals that five fossilized snow leopards from outside the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau represent dispersed populations, not separate lineages, expanding their range during the Middle Pleistocene due to factors like mountainous terrain and prey a...

Oldest Western European Human Ancestor Fossil Found in Spain
A 1.1 to 1.4-million-year-old human ancestor face fragment, discovered in Spain's Atapuerca Mountains, is the oldest such fossil found in Western Europe, suggesting early human excursions into the region during the Early Pleistocene epoch, although evidence suggests any initial settlement was short-...

Ancient Glaciers' Role in Complex Life's Evolution
A new study reveals that over half a billion years ago, during the Cryogenian period or "Snowball Earth," glaciers transported earth minerals into the ocean, altering its chemistry and potentially influencing the evolution of complex life; this research also highlights the importance of addressing m...

Human Gene Variant Linked to Development of Spoken Language
A new study links a human-specific protein variant of the NOVA1 gene to the development of spoken language, demonstrated by altered vocalizations in mice after CRISPR gene editing; this discovery may lead to new treatments for speech disorders.

Sex, Gender, and Evolution: Challenging Biological Determinism
This article explores the evolutionary origins of sexual reproduction, contrasting it with asexual methods, and examining how societal constructs of gender and biological sex intertwine, ultimately arguing against biological determinism.
