Homo sapiens is the only living representative of the tribe Hominini, but of course this was not always the case; our ancestors overlapped in time and space with other species throughout the Plio ...

Researchers have discovered the earliest examples of human footprints in Germany. They're so old, it's unlikely they were made by any species live today. Stretching back some 300,000 years through ...

The first members of the human lineage lack many features that distinguish us from other primates. Although it has been a difficult quest, we are closer than ever to knowing the mother of us all.

The Meguma and Avalon Zones of Nova Scotia are markedly different terrains, as shown by metallogenic characteristics, plutonic composition, sedimentary dispersal and paleoenvironment, and faunal ...

Researchers have recently discovered an endoparasitic tapeworm fossil from mid-Cretaceous Myanmar amber that is approximately ...
