Researchers say it’s time to finally discard a decades-old theory about the origins of human language – and revise the date when human ancestors likely were able to make certain speech noises.
The human scream – a response we share with our primate relatives – is more nuanced than you might think.
As a human evolution researcher, I was very excited to work with the creator of the Assassin’s Creed games.
The way of life primates have evolved to live cannot be replicated in a human home.
Our closest relatives show distinct cultural behaviour in different populations. But those differences are being erased.
Colombian researchers hope to revive an endangered species by rehabilitating monkeys confiscated from smugglers. The captive animals’ struggles show that survival is not guaranteed.
Our research supports the idea that human speech abilities comes down to our brain power.
The endangered species list is over 90 000 and includes Madagascar’s lemurs.
Early hominins are thought to have made a new shelter every night, which taught them how to adapt to changing conditions.

Newly recognised genetic populations carry their evolutionary history with them, and the history of their habits. This is why detecting new species is so important.
CT scanning allows scientists to observe and “dissect” fossils digitally using computer software - and to uncover secrets that are hundreds of millions of years old.
