The ancient hominin Australopithecus anamensis is thought to be one of our oldest known relations – but what do we actually know about the species? The remains of A. anamensis have been ...
Competition between species played a major role in the rise and fall of hominins -- and produced a 'bizarre' evolutionary pattern for the Homo lineage -- according to a new study that revises the ...
Recent decades have seen the discovery of several new hominin species, from Australopithecus sediba to Homo floresiensis. Van Holstein created a new database of “occurrences” in the hominin ...
How did early humans evolve? Interspecies competition between hominins played a role in diversity and survival.
The Australopithecus afarensis, in particular, is well known for a skeleton discovered in 1974, which was nicknamed Lucy (depicted). The Australopithecus afarensis lived between 3 to 3.7 million ...
A new study from the University of Cambridge suggests that interspecies competition significantly influenced the evolutionary trajectory of hominins, resulting in a “bizarre” evolutionary pattern for ...
