A growing body of genetic evidence suggests that Neanderthals and Denisovans carried many of the same regulatory gene networks linked to language and vocal anatomy in modern humans, challenging the ...

Expansion underscores Beond’s evolution from crisis recovery to proactive mental wellness, optimization and whole-person care ...

A new study from the School of Neurobiology, Biochemistry, and Biophysics reveals a surprising insight into the operation of the ancestral brain: the visual cortex of turtles is capable of detecting ...

Scientists discover a 518-million-year-old ancestor with four eyes. Study shows how this ancient jawless fish evolved into the modern human sleep gland.

A new study explains how climbing down trees helped shape upright posture in early primates and changed the course of evolution.

One of the defining features of human evolution is the steady expansion of our brains. New findings suggest this growth may be partly linked to higher levels of estrogen before birth. Surprisingly, a ...

There are many parallels between human intelligence and AI, and there are some interesting parallels in how they’re created ...

The evolution of human hands is one of the most important – and overlooked – stories of our origin. Now, new fossil evidence ...

Male and female brains begin developing differently in the womb. Here's how genetics, hormones, and prenatal biology shape brain structure, behaviour, and mental health outcomes before birth.

A physician introduces a provocative theory linking informational overload and evolutionary mismatch to modern disease ...

Newborn finger proportions may reflect early hormone exposure and could be linked to differences in early brain growth.

Human newborns arrive remarkably underdeveloped. The reason lies in a deep evolutionary trade-off between big brains, bipedalism and the limits of motherhood.
