Homo sapiens

A comparison between the UK's Boxgrove fossils and the Sima de Los Huesos in Spain has led to new understandings of the links between some of Europe's earliest humans.

It isn't just humans who engage in the social behavior of flexing, meaning to show off an object or an achievement for the sake of attention and clout. Chimpanzees can do it too.

A new study claims there was co-existence between two species of man over a duration of at least 1,400 to 2,900 years.

Researchers claim this discovery may contribute to how early humans split apart from apes to start their own evolutionary line.

Human populations caused homogenization in North America through hunting, farming, attracting certain species and cultivated boundaries.

Experts analyzed smoke and heat circulation in caves and archaeological findings to prove that early humans knew exactly where to light their fires to maximize heat, clean air and living space.

The study sheds new light on early human social behavior and the effects of climate change on human populations in eastern and southern Africa during the Pleistocene epoch.

Remains from a cave in Bulgaria are the oldest samples of Upper Palaeolithic Homo sapiens in Europe and are important for research of the diaspora of early humans from the Middle East to Europe.

Wall paintings made by prehistoric modern humans, such as those found in the Chauvet-Pont d’Arc cave of France, are more than 30,000 years old.

Some 17 fragments of a mandible, a tooth and a piece of skull were the key to allow researchers to find out about the ‘Nesher Ramla Homo.’
