Human evolution has long been tied to growing brain size, and new research suggests prenatal hormones may have played a surprising role. By studying the relative lengths of index and ring fingers — a ...
The longer the thumb, the bigger the brain, evolution study suggests By Pranjal Malewar September 07, 2025 The research found the bigger a primate's brain the longer its thumbs were, affirming a ...
The evolution of the human species is marked by an increase in brain size. Now new research suggests that could be partly ...
Humans, who are classified among the five great apes, are closest genetically, i.e., DNA similarity, to chimpanzees (98.8%-99%) and bonobos (98.8%). [Blueringmedia ...
The first hint of a brain developed on Earth around 600 million years ago, and now, some version of the organ can be found in nearly every animal in the world. Humans have the largest brain size ...
A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that the gut microbiome does more than aid digestion. It may also influence how ...
In a new study published in Science, a Belgian research team explores how genetic switches controlling gene activity define brain cell types across species. They trained deep learning models on human, ...
A fossil smaller than a human fingernail has revealed a complete ancient brain, turning a speck of stone into a detailed map of early animal evolution. Encased inside this tiny creature are preserved ...
A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the process differed from the evolution of chimpanzees. For the study, published ...
