human evolution

This species was in Europe between 44,000 and 40,000 years earlier than previously thought. Also, having a more accurate idea of when our closest relatives disappeared is a first step to better understand their nature.

They were much more like us than we thought. A study confirms that they communicated like us.

They discover how a single gene alteration may have separated modern humans from their predecessors.

We have seen this metaphorical representation of human evolution from ape to homo sapiens on multiple occasions. Do we really come from the monkey?

The discovery of the fossil remains of a male 'Paranthropus robustus' that differ significantly in size from those found in a nearby site suggests that a series of environmental changes in the area led to the anatomical evolution of this hominid species.

This study shows that our species is still evolving and changes in natural selection could be the main reason.

'Homo sapiens', 'Homo erectus', 'Australopithecus' ... do you get into trouble when they tell you about our relatives? We solve all your doubts.

Many experts wonder why evolution has not allowed us to have eyes on the back of the head or on the nape of the neck. We analyze why it would not be as useful as we might think at first.
