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 ...

Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences has officially voted to change the name of the Human Evolutionary Biology concentration during a meeting on April 1. Effective as of July 1, 2025 — when the ...

What makes the human brain different from that of other primates has long been a question. A new study suggests that the answer may be in a surprising twist of evolutionary fate: one of the brain’s ...

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

The new evolutionary study found two main reasons for the primate anomaly: to attract mates and to threaten rivals.

Artificial intelligence allows tracing the evolution of genetic control elements in the developing mammalian cerebellum. An ...

Harvard’s Human Evolutionary Biology concentration may soon be known by a different name. In an email to concentrators, Ashley Johnson, the HEB undergraduate program coordinator, wrote that the ...

The pelvis is often called the keystone of upright movement. It helps explain how human ancestors left life on all fours behind. Yet the “how” has stayed fuzzy for decades. A new Nature study led by ...

In the grand story of evolution, the crowning human distinction is our big brain. But our large heads have been slow to recognize a less admirable trait of Homo sapiens—self-centeredness. Subscribe to ...

As our evolution slows and industrialization and technology accelerates, a growing body of research suggests that human biology is struggling to keep pace. Many of the chronic stress-related health ...

A new paper by evolutionary anthropologists Colin Shaw (University of Zurich) and Daniel Longman (Loughborough University) argues that modern life has outpaced human evolution. The study suggests that ...

What will humans be like generations from now in a world transformed by artificial intelligence (AI)? Plenty of thinkers have applied themselves to questions like this, considering how AI will alter ...
