The find suggests there were multiple waves of migration across Europe and Asia and could also mean modern humans in the Middle East were interacting,and possibly mating,with other human species for tens of thousands of years."Misliya breaks the existing assumptions of the timing of the first ...
In biology, the term ‘mating market’ has been fashionable for a few decades only, but sexual selection theory was implicitly based on economic
It turns out that humans might not be the only species that have identified individuals for each other. A new study found that African savanna elephants, an endangered species, have name-calls for each other that are human-like — a finding that potentially "completely expands the expected powe...
When a particular trait is desired in an organism, mateable individuals of the species with the trait are located and bred. This may begin with an outcrossing or mating of unrelated individuals. Several matings are conducted between the individuals with the desired traits to produce offspring...
Mating with other human species might have helped our antecedents survive the cold, but at a cost.
Why didn't other animals evolve to become closer to humans in intelligence? Is there an evolutionary/ biological reason for the tendency of humans to gain attention? Two species of hawk are able to mate successfully, but ...
In many non-human primate species, a display of red by a female serves as a sexual signal to attract male conspecifics. Red is associated with sex and romance in humans, and women convey their sexual interest to men through a variety of verbal, postural, and behavioral means. In the prese...
There is much evidence that humans, as other species, are affected by social information when making mate-choice decisions. Witnessing a rival show interest in a member of the opposite sex tends to lead human observers of both sexes to thereafter rate that person as more appealing as a potenti...
other half were first tested in the familiar phase, and then the groups were swapped. All demonstrators who participated in the test session in the unfamiliar phase had no previous contact with the dogs, while only two of the demonstrators who participated in the familiar phase interacted with ...
This result contrasts with the negative relationship between skew and option set size found in nonhuman animals. We interpret these results as the outcome of similar choice mechanisms but different cues used by humans versus other species when making a choice from an abundance of mates....
