From an incredible series of revelations about the ancient humans called Denisovans to surprising discoveries about tool ...

Human biology evolved for a world of movement, nature, and short bursts of stress—not the constant pressure of modern life.

In a study published in Nature Ecology and Evolution, scientists show that the SAMD9 and SAMD9L genes, key players in ...

Researchers say they’ve uncovered new evidence in present-day England that could reshape our understanding of human evolution ...

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the process differed from the evolution of chimpanzees. For the study, published ...

Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a growing health threat, but its evolution outside laboratory settings is poorly understood. Bacteria living in the human gut are now found to evolve persistent ...

The discovery site at East Farm, Barnham, England lies hidden within a disused clay pit tucked away in the wooded landscape between Thetford and Bury St Edmunds. Professor Nick Ashton from the British ...

Throughout most of human history, evolution progressed slowly. Small genetic changes took thousands of years to permeate populations. Natural selection was intentional, reactive, and gradual. However, ...

Humans, who are classified among the five great apes, are closest genetically, i.e., DNA similarity, to chimpanzees (98.8%-99%) and bonobos (98.8%). [Blueringmedia ...
