Geckos have independently evolved their trademark sticky feet as many as 11 times. Learning how gecko toepads have evolved to move in nature is an important step in developing robotic technologies that can do similar things. >>Read More

A video game designed for predatory fish might have unraveled some lingering evolutionary questions about group formation and movement in animals, according to new research that took a unique approach to observing interactions between real and simulated animals. >>Read More

The findings will fuel the ongoing debate over whether stone tools mark the beginning of modern human culture, or predate our Homo genus. They appear to suggest the latter – though critics will point out that Kanzi and his companion were taught how to make the tools. >>Read More
