Hard Science

Researchers have been able to observe speciation for the first time in a tiny lab flask, watching a virus evolve into two completely new species over the course of just one month.
The study proves the reality of this evolutionary process proposed by Charles Darwin and provides a system to test many previously untestable ideas about it.

Breakthrough: Scientists See the Evolution of a New Species Occur in a Flask

A team of scientists unveiled a new tree of life on Monday, a diagram outlining the evolution of all living things. And the researchers found that bacteria make up most of life's branches.
