Os neandertais e os humanos podem ter sido igualmente inteligentes e habilidosos, mas algumas evidências indicam que os humanos viviam em grupos maiores.
Neanderthals and humans may have been equally smart and skilled, but some evidence points to humans living in larger groups.
Oceanic dispersal of dinosaurs between Europe and Africa shows how low-probability, high-impact events drive evolution.
Les fossiles suggèrent que pas moins de trois espèces d'abélisauridés ont coexisté au Maroc il y a environ 66 millions d'années.
Fossils suggest that as many as three abelisaurid species coexisted in Morocco around 66 million years ago.
Artefak menunjukkan adanya ‘lompatan besar’, sebuah evolusi terbaru dari kecerdasan modern. Fosil dan DNA menyatakan bahwa itu adalah ilusi.
Scientists have discovered a new species of mosasaur, a sea-dwelling lizard from the age of the dinosaurs, with strange, ridged teeth unlike those of any known reptile.
Es difícil imaginar el mundo sin el ‘Homo sapiens’. Pero es poco probable que estuviéramos aquí si no fuera por la colisión fortuita de un asteroide.
It’s hard to imagine the world without Homo sapiens. But it’s unlikely we would be here if it wasn’t for a chance asteroid collision.
Fosil mosasaur sang pembunuh raksasa telah ditemukan di samping sisa-sisa fosil mangsanya.
Fossils of a giant killer mosasaur have been discovered, alongside the fossilised remains of its prey.
Columbus’s was the last of at least seven discoveries of the Americas.
We’ll probably be less aggressive and more agreeable, but have smaller brains – a bit like a Golden Retriever, we’ll be friendly, but maybe not that interesting or bright.
The stone age saw a pattern where technologies like spears, fire and bows were invented once, then spread
What looks like a bright, sharp dividing line between humans and other animals is really an artefact of extinction.
Today, Homo sapiens regularly use psychoactive chemicals to modify the mind – but how did it all begin?
Given tens of millions of years, wildly improbable events – like primates crossing oceans – are almost a given.
Did Neanderthal military superiority delay our migration out of Africa?
Artefacts suggest a ‘great leap’, a recent evolution of modern intelligence. Fossils and DNA argue that’s an illusion.
When the dinosaurs went extinct, some species took over the world. Adaptability, not survivability, explains why.
Large numbers, huge ranges, and adaptibility make the human species very difficult to eradicate
The evolution of a mother’s bond with her offspring marked a major change in the story of life.
Pertanian dan peradaban mungkin diciptakan bukan sebagai bentuk peningkatan gaya hidup leluhur kita, melainkan karena kita tidak memiliki pilihan lain.
Overhunting of megafauna such as mammoths may have force us to take up farming, ultimately leading to modern society
Hace 300 000 años, había muchas especies de humanos sobre la Tierra. Ahora sólo quedamos nosotros, los homo sapiens, y probablemente somos el motivo de la desaparición de las demás.
