Scientists have long struggled to explain what sets the human brain apart. Our cerebral cortex, the folded outer layer dedicated to thought, speech, and imagination is three times as large as the cerebral cortex of our nearest relatives, the chimpanzees. Now research shows a microscopic shift in our DNA embedded inside a regulatory on-off switch ...

America’s landscape has undergone dramatic changes since European settlement, with vast ecosystems fragmented or lost to development, agriculture, and resource extraction. As ecological awareness has grown, so too has the movement to restore these natural systems through rewilding – the strategic reintroduction of native species and restoration of natural processes to repair damaged ecosystems. Across ...
At dusk in the Georgia Piedmont, the woods begin to whisper with wings and click with tiny gears, and the cast behind the sound is stranger than fiction. Beyond the familiar butterflies and bees, the state shelters insects that spray noxious mist, drill into dead wood with hair-thin tools, and hunt with stealth that would ...
