A new study theorizes that evolution ticks at different speeds, especially when a big group of organisms first appears.

Abstract: Understanding human intention plays a crucial role in the research of human-robot interaction (HRI) for service robots. Although multimodal sensing methods have shown promising results in ...

Scientists recently discovered what may be the earliest evidence of deliberate fire-making by humans — and it's far older than scholars previously believed. The study, which was published in the ...

Human evolution is not a straight line but a complex branching tree shared with other great apes. This overview explains the distinction between hominids and hominins and traces the evolutionary ...

The earliest evidence of deliberate fire-making by humans was discovered at 400,000-year-old site in Barnham, England, pushing back the timeline by 350,000 years from previous findings.

The skull had the brow of a descendant but the face of an ancestor. When researchers finished reconstructing the DAN5/P1 cranium from Ethiopia’s Afar region, dated to between 1.6 and 1.5 million years ...
