A team of international scientists, led by Dr. Karen Baab, a paleoanthropologist at the College of Graduate Studies, Glendale ...

That could place the ancestors of Homo sapiens—modern humans—outside Africa, an idea which flips everything palaeontologists ...

A newly reconstructed fossil face from Ethiopia reveals surprising complexity in early human evolution. By digitally fitting together teeth and fossilized bone fragments, researchers reconstructed a ...

An international team of scientists has found out that two types of ancient people originated in Africa, and not one, as previously thought. To clarify this issue, they analyzed the area of dental ...

Denisovans were an extinct human group identified almost entirely through DNA rather than complete skeletons. First discovered in Siberia, their genetic legacy is still present in populations across ...

Discovered in 1907 near Heidelberg, Germany, Homo heidelbergensis bridged the gap between Homo erectus and both Neanderthals and modern humans. This powerful species spread across Africa and Europe, ...

Thus, the Torah tells the Jewish umma, and the Qur’an tells the Muslim umma, the importance of picking yourself up and going (Hajj in Arabic, Hag in Hebrew) with masses of other members of your umma, ...

Using a specially developed simulation model, researchers at the University of Cologne have traced and analyzed the dynamics ...

This innovative approach combines climate data, archaeological evidence, and population dynamics to simulate how Neanderthals moved across the landscape. The model reveals that by the time ...
