A video explaining how embryology, anatomy, and genetics can be used as evidence for evolution.

This week, science explains the chemical love-connection we share with our dogs, and how some of the most isolated populations of people in the world are different on the inside.

A lot of humans need or want braces to fix their crooked teeth, but why do you never see a dog walking down the street with headgear? Our ancient ancestors and mac and cheese may be to blame!

For four billion years, what lived and died on earth depended on two principles: natural selection and random mutation. Then humans came along and changed everything - hybridizing plants, breeding animals, altering the environment and...

Hank veers away from human anatomy to teach us about the (mostly) single-celled organisms that make up two of the three taxonomic domains of life, and one of the four kingdoms: Archaea, Bacteria, and Protists. They are by far the most...

Both foxes and dogs belong to the same family Canidae. Then why haven’t foxes become our companions too? To answer this, in 1950, a group of Russian scientists began an experiment to try and create the first ever pet fox species. The...

In ancient times, wildcats were fierce carnivorous hunters. And unlike dogs, who have undergone centuries of selective breeding, modern cats are genetically very similar to ancient cats. How did these solitary, fierce predators become...

Once upon a time an English naturalist and geologist named Charles Darwin came up with the theory of evolution. Evolution, now widely accepted as a theory, used to be very controversial. It rocked the entire world, as matter of fact. It...

Brit looks back on our fifth month on Nature League, when we explored the theme of adaptations.

In terms of biological classification, organisms are classified, or grouped, with other organisms that they are most closely related to. These small groups are then classified together into larger groups and so on, until we reach the top...

In this episode of "From A to B", Adrian asks Brit why animals are basically getting smaller over time.

This week on Nature League, Brit explores the incredible process of domestication and answers Adrian's question about keeping a house opossum.
