New research suggests at least some key distinctions date back earlier than previously estimated, hinting that modern and archaic humans – including our close, extinct relatives – have more in common ...

Ancient human relatives ran on two legs, like modern humans, but at a much slower pace, suggest 3D computer simulations of Australopithecus afarensis 1 — a small hominin that lived more than ...

According to the most commonly accepted theory, modern humans left Africa around 60,000 years ago, mingling with Neanderthals along the way. This interaction left a legacy of two to three percent ...

Despite being bipedal, Lucy’s running capacity was slow and energetically inefficient compared to modern humans, highlighting evolutionary advancements in human anatomy crucial for endurance ...

This updated timeline for Neanderthal-modern human interbreeding "shifts and narrows the possible range of time when humans spread to places like present-day China and Australia," said NBC News.
