Sources to learn about recent evolutionary discoveries? (lemmy.world)

I grew up in an evangelical household and went to a Christian school where they only taught creationism (and a little “micro evolution” but not much).

It’s been many years since I left Christianity but I never really re-schooled myself on all the science I missed out on. I started watching some YouTube videos, and while they’re very informative, I realized they’re about 10 years old. I got to thinking there have probably been a lot of scientific discoveries in the last 10 years. So I googled “recent evolutionary discoveries” and the amount of info that came up was overwhelming.

What’s a good source that I could focus on to learn about discoveries over the last decade or two?

Possibly the "Nature" section of ScienceAlert?
