In just a short time, social media has revolutionized the way humans communicate with each other. In 2005, just 5% of Americans used a major social platform; by 2021, this number increased to 72%, according tofindingsfrom the Pew Research Center. Globally it's estimated that 4.89 billion pe...
Evidence suggests that humans have a suite of derived traits best explained by an evolutionary history of bilateral, multiple-generation kin networks, pairbonding, and complex coalitions including intercommunity alliances based in part on mating/marriage relationships. Keywords: human evolution; family ...
The ability to choose the partners we interact with is thought to have been an important driver in the evolution of human social behavior, and in particular, our propensity to cooperate. Studies showing that humans prefer to interact with cooperative others is often cited as support for partner ...

Consider such statements in light of the fact that Osborn's "intelligence" led him to use a single tooth as clear evidence of the evolution of humans from apes - a tooth which was later shown to be nothing more than a pig's tooth!
The distribution of genetic variation within and among human populations has long been an important tool for inferring the evolutionary history of modern humans. Dramatic improvements in genotyping technologies over the past 15 years have facilitated the development of many types of DNA markers. Consider...
To understand the evolution of FAM161A in mammals, we analyzed the FAM161A primary structure identity of humans to other species with a predicted proteome in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) protein database (Fig.2g–h). Human FAM161A has a 70–77% primary structure ...

From Portree we hit the woods. There aren’t many trees on Skye, and it’s not clear to me exactly why. The island is at the mercy of the elements, with strong winds even in the summer which naturally will strip the land. But it may also be the case that humans deforested the isl...
