A better understanding of how these amphibians grow new appendages may lead to better wound healing—or even new limbs—in humans. Axolotls are native to Mexico and critically endangered in their ...

Abstract: Full-matrix capture (FMC) of matrix phased array has raised widespread attention in 3-D ultrasound imaging, while research on the imaging methods mainly concentrates on the total focusing ...

Something about a warm, flickering campfire draws in modern humans. Where did that uniquely human impulse come from? How did our ancestors learn to make fire? How long have they been making it?

Humans are far more monogamous than our primate cousins, but less so than beavers, a new study suggests. Researchers from the University of Cambridge in England analyzed the proportion of full ...

A field in eastern England has revealed evidence of the earliest known instance of humans creating and controlling fire, a significant find that archaeologists say illuminates a dramatic turning point ...

Set aside your matches or lighter and try to start a fire—chances are you’d be left cold and hungry. But as early as 400,000 years ago, ancient hominins may have had the skills to conjure flame, ...

The fossil and genetic evidence agree that modern humans originated in Africa. The most genetically diverse human populations—the groups that have had the longest time to pick up novel mutations—live ...

Humans were isolated in southern Africa for about 100,000 years, which caused them to "fall outside the range of genetic variation" seen in modern-day people, a new genetic study reveals. The finding ...

Humans may be biologically unequipped to handle the relentless pace and pressures of modern life, a new study suggests, with chronic stress emerging as a significant evolutionary mismatch in the ...
