Researchers have discovered new insights into the human heart's structure, revealing its evolutionary history. This study enhances understanding of heart development and its implications for treating ...

After more than two decades of work, researchers have achieved a genetics milestone: they have successfully sequenced the complete genomes of six ape species, a feat that seemed impossible just a few ...

UCL scientists found that human skulls evolved much faster than those of other apes, reflecting the powerful forces driving our brain growth and facial flattening. By comparing 3D models of ape skulls ...

Scientists find genetic mutation, millions of years ago. Oct. 12, 2011 — -- About three million years ago human predecessors embarked on a new course that would forever alter the evolution of our ...

The study of human evolution and comparative anatomy bridges palaeontology, biomechanics and evolutionary biology to elucidate the origins of our unique anatomy. Recent analyses have shed new light on ...

Humans are fundamentally technological creatures. We depend on the manufacture and use of tools for our survival to a degree qualitatively greater than any other species. Therefore, an understanding ...
