Researchers found that ancient hominids—including early humans—were exposed to lead throughout childhood, leaving chemical traces in fossil teeth. Experiments suggest this exposure may have driven ...
Since the early 20th century, people’s skulls have got rounder and their jaws have got wider, probably because of changes in ...
The story of human evolution is far from a straight line — it’s a complex web of species, adaptations, and interconnections.
In this eye-opening talk, fish paleobiologist Lauren Sallan explains how one of Earth’s most devastating mass extinctions ...
A new study shows the virus could have doubled the frequency of genetic variants in a South African province if effective ...
If you’re dealing with a robot, you’ll know by the eyes. If Sam Altman has his way, this could be sort of how it works in ...

A massive new study suggests natural selection has shaped human evolution in West Eurasia far more strongly and far more recently than scientists once believed. By tracking genetic changes across more ...
Data from more than 15,000 ancient people reveal natural selection of hundreds of genes linked to immunity, skin tone, behaviour and other traits. The biggest ever study of ancient human DNA shows ...
Some researchers hold that evolution hasn’t much altered humans in the past 10,000 years. A new analysis of ancient DNA indicates that natural selection continued to shape hundreds of genes. By Carl ...
Applying new analytic methods to nearly 16,000 ancient genomes reveals natural selection has acted on hundreds, not dozens, of genes in West Eurasia over the last 10,000 years. More than half of the ...
Abstract: Sparsely single-point human parsing aims at segmenting the human body into fine-grained categories via weak point-level labels (e.g., point-level, scribble-level, or image-level, etc). The ...
