New fossils, advances in genetics, and better ways to figure out who’s related to whom show the current grouping into Homo, Australopithecus and Paranthropus doesn’t reflect the true shape of our family tree.
Bernie vs. Claude. Rebecca Traister - “Angry Girls Will Get Us Through” | The Daily Show. Project Hail Mary | Movie. This Mechanic Could Win the Most Important Senate Race in America. Humans May Be Far Older Than We Thought.
Million-year-old artefacts offer a tantilising hint that Homo sapiens may be much older than previously thought. We may be looking in the wrong time and place to find Ancestor X.
We are a team of bioarchaeologists, archaeologists and forensic anthropologists who, with our colleagues, recently discovered the earliest evidence of cremation.
We now have full genome sequences for six species of apes, helping us to pin down our last common ancestor – and potentially changing how we think of the earliest hominins
DNA from European fossils dating back 45,000 years offers new clues to how our species spread across the world.
Inviting a Neanderthal for the holidays? That's a good thing. Not only are they the closest relative of homo sapiens, but there's a bit of Neanderthal in almost all of us. New findings about them are coming thick and fast.

We've lost a lemon sized piece of brain. Here are three hypotheses that try to explain what happened.
The rate of prenatal growth directly relates to how big an adult brain grows. How and when Homo sapiens‘ high prenatal growth rate evolved has been a mystery, until now.
