We begin this discussion of our species' evolution in Africa ... to infer that these fossils represent early members of the hominin lineage. The first human-like traits to appear in the hominin ...

A new study published in Genome Biology and Evolution found links between the DNA of ancient hominids called Neanderthals and ...

But, it is unclear when cumulative culture first developed during hominin evolution. A study published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Arizona State University ...

Human evolution might be more "bizarre" than we once thought, according to a new study. In the past, scientists believed that hominin evolution was largely driven by changes in climate.

This collection of viewable hominin fossil 3D models was produced by the Smithsonian’s Human Origins Program by 3D scanning casts and other replicas which are now on display in the Hall of Human ...

A new study shows how the mismatch between where fossils are preserved and where humans likely lived may influence our understanding of early human evolution. Much of the early human fossil record ...

I am then going to go straight on to investigate both the morphology and the environment of a group of hominids that have been published as early human ancestors but which have only been mentioned in ...

Meet your ancient relatives, trace the origins and evolution of our species, and explore what makes us human. Embark on a seven-million-year journey, from the first hominins to the last surviving ...

Discover interesting facts about how evolution works, the different patterns that can emerge from evolution, how quickly organisms can evolve, and whether evolution is a random or ordered process ...

An Unexpected Result: The Mammalian Inner Ear Is a Striking Example of Convergent Evolution Sep. 17, 2024 — A new study reveals the surprisingly convergent evolution in the inner ear of mammals.
