Processes4

- When biologists say that 'evolution is a fact,' I think they mean that they accept the following statement so firmly that they consider it to be as true as any basic sensory fact: each species arose from another species that preceded it in time, and higher taxa arose by a continuation of the speciation processes. (sciforums.com)

Laboratory3
- Scientists claim to have developed a new phage-based approach to biomolecular evolution that is about 100 times faster than conventional laboratory evolution techniques and far less labor intensive. (genengnews.com)

(genomeweb.com)
Scientists3
- The study reveals the importance of scientists considering that genes that affect behavior may do so by changing anatomy rather than by altering the brain. (elifesciences.org)
- Many scientists and philosophers of science have described evolution as fact and theory , a phrase which was used as the title of an article by paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould in 1981. (sciforums.com)
