An archaeology professor explains how Neanderthals contributed more than just genetic material to the modern man - they might have also culturally exchanged with their contemporary homo sapiens at the time.
Meet the "monkeydactyl": a recently-discovered arboreal species of pterosaur, dated at 160 million years old, with the oldest true opposed thumb known - a feature previously undiscovered in these flying reptiles.
In a new discovery, the complex neural network that connects the brain to the eyes might have developed far earlier than previously thought, according to a new study.
Pushing for more accurate depictions of the ancient human ancestors, scientists published new standards for representing extinct hominids in a bid to overcome artistic bias.
Apparently, a universal model could describe how teeth, horns, claws, beaks, thorns, and other sharp structures in plants and animals are developed - and researchers have identified what it is.
An international study conducted gene sequencing on Capuchin monkeys, finding genetic clues throughout their evolution to explain their notable life expectancy and large brains.
A team of researchers from different universities are working on a set of robots that can autonomously evolve and produce child robots to survive on distant planets.
A new study reveals how warmer global climates could create more serious mutations that have worse effects on organisms, affecting their prospects for survival in the future.
Researchers of a new study recently identified a state akin to sleep in a tiny, freshwater animal, also known as "hydra," which has simple anatomy and doesn't have a brain.
Researchers were unable to trace the origins of pterosaurs for 200 years, but a new study sheds light on the mystery of the first-known flying vertebrates.
