The three-dimensional shape of a protein can be used to resolve deep, ancient evolutionary relationships in the tree of life, ...

Researchers have innovatively merged protein structural data with genetic sequences to construct evolutionary trees, ...

Lucy, an early human ancestor, could run upright but much slower than modern humans. New simulations show that muscle and ...

The three-dimensional shape of a protein can be used to resolve deep, ancient evolutionary relationships in the tree of life, according to a study in ...

luzonensis, H. longi, and H. juluensis highlight how new perspectives are unraveling complexities in the human evolutionary tree. For decades, researchers lumped eastern Asian hominin fossils into ...

To help you explore this tree and understand the amazing mechanism behind it, we’ve created the NOVA Evolution Lab. Play this Lab and you’ll be on your way to becoming an expert in ...

The University of Liverpool has led an international team of scientists to take a fresh look at the running capabilities of ...

A better way to think about human evolution is like a 'bushy tree' with many branches. This is the metaphor increasingly used by scientists in this field. Each branch represents an individual ...

This discovery adds to the growing complexity of our evolutionary history. Discoveries in decades have transformed the human family tree into a tangled web of interrelated branches. The Juluren ...

Researchers argue that the variation among East Asian hominins demands a reevaluation of evolutionary models, challenging traditional narratives of human history. A 2023 fossil in Hualongdong, ...
