Humans attempted to reanimate the skulls of our dead for thousands of years. With the help of modern technology and ancient DNA, it’s now both an art and a science.
What hominids evolved into Homo erectus? How long ago did Homo erectus live? What Neanderthal genes are in humans? How big was a raptor dinosaur? Who found Homo habilis? What is Homo erectus? How tall were Homo heidelbergensis? How big were dinosaurs in the Triassic Period? What is the ...
Most hominids that scientists are aware of lived millions of years after Toumai. The most famous one is called Lucy. She lived in Ethiopia about 3.5 million years ago. While Lucy’s face looked like the face of a chimpanzee, Toumai’s skull has both human and ape-like features. ...
How long ago did Homo erectus live? What is Homo sapiens sapiens? What are the oldest Homo sapiens known for? How many hominids existed at the time of Homo sapiens? How did Homo sapiens live? How long were dinosaurs the dominant species on Earth? What are Homo sapiens? Were there Homo ...
I was so taken by their consistently rich flavor and how well they peeled after roasting that I had to call to let him know they were the best chestnuts I’d ever had. We’ve been in touch since. When we met a couple weeks ago, I asked how he roasts chestnuts. Celso’s favorite...
For thousands of years that have shaped our evolution, hominids have therefore acquired cognitive and conative skills to adapt to the environment. They were optimized to solve the problems they encountered during this period which concerned their survival. They are called “heuristics”. Their goal ...

In particular, hominids (great apes) and atelids (New World monkeys such as howler, spider and woolly monkeys) both showed significantly greater GC levels in association with stress. Three families showed smaller increases while three other families of primates were basically unaffected. The ...
Millions of years ago, Hadar was home to a large lake. Today those long-buried lake sediments are eroding to the surface and revealing ancient remains, both animal and human. “Animals either fell into the lake or were dragged into the lake, and slowly decayed and over time covered by ...
scientists were already putting together predictions on how closely related humans were to other animals long before any genomes had even been sequenced. This is because it is possible to estimate how similar the DNA of the two species is without even knowing the complete sequence of their DNA....
