Human babies arrive with 100 extra bones for the same reason birth is the most dangerous event in mammalian life. Both facts ...

The image in question is genuine and features a gibbon, a primate known as a "lesser ape." Humans are also considered primates but belong to a subset of species known as the "greater apes." Living ...

Scientists analyze 22,000 genomes documenting hundreds of genetic changes due to natural selection over the past 10,000 years ...

Human evolution’s biggest mystery, which emerged 15 years ago from a 60,000-year-old pinkie finger bone, finally started to unravel in 2025. Analysis of DNA extracted from the fossil electrified the ...

Fossils unearthed in Ethiopia are reshaping our view of human evolution. Instead of a straight march from ape-like ancestors to modern humans, researchers now see a tangled, branching tree with ...

New research challenges long-standing assumptions about human evolution, revealing that natural selection has been more ...

The discovery of fossilised human remains in the Sahara Desert has marked a new era in research on the history of human evolution. Researchers have discovered skeletons dating back 7,000 years that do ...

Researchers at the University of Maine are theorizing that human beings may be in the midst of a major evolutionary shift—driven not by genes, but by culture. "Human evolution seems to be changing ...

The study of human skeletal biology has advanced markedly through the integration of high‐resolution imaging, geometric morphometrics and archaeological data. Detailed analysis of long bone ...

"This book arises out of a joint meeting between the Centre for Ecology and Evolution (CEE), University College of London (UCL), and the Linnean Society, held in the meeting rooms of the Linnean ...
