WASHINGTON, Oct. 17 (TNSres) -- The National Science Foundation issued the following news release:
Natural selection is usually understood in the context of change. When organisms deviate from the norm, they may gain advantages that let their lineages outlast those of their less-adaptable relatives.
But U.S. National Science Foundation-supported research from Michigan State University suggests that natural selection also has the power to keep things the same.
