Could humans evolve into an entirely new species? Scientists explore how Mars colonization, genetic engineering, and ...

Artificial intelligence has painted a startling picture of human evolution, suggesting that by the year 3025, our species could bear little resemblance to its current form. Prolonged digital immersion ...

Many people believe that we humans have conquered nature through the wonders of civilization and technology. Some also believe that because we are different from other creatures, we have complete ...

A landmark Nature study reveals that non-coding DNA switches silenced 17 cartilage-building genes during human evolution, leaving human joints with 62% fewer shock-absorbing sugar molecules than ...

Denisovans, a mysterious human relative, left behind far more than a handful of fossils—they left genetic fingerprints in modern humans across the globe. Multiple interbreeding events with distinct ...

Introduction: Society has evolved. But what about humans?Modern society is about to transition to a new stage called Society ...

Human biological evolution and advances in artificial intelligence unfold on markedly different timescales. From the perspective of natural evolution, the human body and brain were shaped over immense ...

Humans really do rule the world. We took over fast and far, more than any other wild vertebrates. We inhabit nearly every corner of the world, and can thrive in deserts, tropical rainforests and even ...

A paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution finds that the relatively high rate of autism-spectrum disorders in humans is likely due to how humans evolved in the past. The paper is titled "A general ...
