Australopithecus Afarensis' Limited Running Speed Unveiled in 3D Simulation Study
A recent study using advanced 3D simulations has uncovered the running limitations of Australopithecus afarensis, an ancient hominin that lived over three million years ago. The findings highlight that while the species was capable of running, it could not match the speed or efficiency of modern humans. Insights from muscle mass estimates and digit...

Oldest Homo Sapiens Fossils Discovered In Morocco
Bones found in a cave in Morocco add 100,000 years to the history of modern human fossils. These bones are from "early anatomically modern" humans - our own species, Homo sapiens, with a mixture of modern and primitive traits, an international team of anthropologists, paleontologists and evolutionary scientists report in a pair of papers published ...

Diseases Carried By Humans Linked To Neanderthal Extinction: Study
Neanderthals across Europe may have been infected with diseases carried out of Africa by waves of anatomically modern humans, contributing to their demise, a new study has claimed.
