Convergent evolution of a conserved molecular network underlies parenting and sociality Nature Reviews Genetics, Published online: 04 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41576-025-00903-5Kay et al. review evidence that parental care, and more complex social behaviour based on parental care, evolved in multiple species through the repeated co-option of members of a pleiotropic molecular network regulating the ancestral processes of feeding, growth and reproduction. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41576-025-00903-5?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=bluesky
