Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe. Using advanced analysis based ...

Humans have lived with fire for over a million years. Scientists now say burn injuries may have influenced human evolution and healing.

Artificial intelligence allows tracing the evolution of genetic control elements in the developing mammalian cerebellum. An international research team led by biologists from Heidelberg University as ...

A recent groundbreaking study has radically altered our understanding of human evolution. Homo sapiens, traditionally thought to have descended from a single lineage, is now believed to be the product ...

Humans' exposure to high temperature burn injuries may have played an important role in our evolutionary development, shaping ...

Regular contact with fire could play a key role in the formation of the human genome, affecting the mechanisms of healing and immune response. This is the conclusion reached by scientists at Imperial ...

Every step you take depends on a structure most people rarely think about. The pelvis sits at the center of the body and ...

From epic poetry to game shows, from Stone Age axes to spaceflight, humans have the most complex cultures of any species on Earth. Since the time of Darwin, scientists have suspected that this culture ...
