human evolution

Women who carry the Neanderthal variant of the progesterone receptor tend to have less bleeding during early pregnancy, fewer miscarriages and give birth to more children, a study shows.

These remains belong to the Upper Paleolithic and take the transition between modern humans and Neanderthals much further back in time.

A team of scientists has succeeded in sequencing the tooth enamel proteins from the remains of 'Homo ancestor' discovered in Atapuerca more than twenty years ago. The results support the theory that this species would be at the base of a group that gave rise to a new emerging humanity that includes modern humans.

Fat is the most efficient way to store energy, which is why our ancestors progressively adapted to ways of storing more.

On November 30, 1974, the remains of Lucy were found, a very well preserved skeleton of the species 'Autralopithecus afarensis' whose find went around the world.

A team of scientists has reconstructed the face of a Denisovan girl using only the DNA of her little finger, found in Denisova in 2008.

A new scientific discovery contradicts one of the most established beliefs in the field of evolutionary biology.

Thousands of years ago, two human species were found on the European continent. 'Homo sapiens', recently arrived from Africa, and' H. neanderthalensis', which would disappear shortly thereafter. Teams of scientists from very diverse disciplines strive to reconstruct the history of this meeting.
