They are six million years old and constitute the oldest direct evidence of a standing human ancestor used to walk.

Why do women usually feel colder? The compelling reason is: evolution, according to a new study.

The artwork found on the Tibetan plateau consists of a series of symmetrical hand and foot prints attributed to Denisovan children.

They have gone from being seen as the losers of the human family tree to being considered top-notch hominids. Today we know, in fact, that much of what defines us as humans was also present in Neanderthals. We take a tour through the fascinating lives of our distant cousins.

Scientists have discovered that this percentage of the genome is not shared by our ancestors, including Neanderthals and Denisovans.

Average body size has fluctuated over the past million years and is closely related to temperatures, according to a new study.
