#10- Dual Hand Use In Early Human Relative

Dual Hand Use In Early Human Relative Summary: Research by anthropologists has identified hand use behavior in fossil human relatives that is consistent with modern humans. The human lineage can be defined by a transition in hand use. Early human ancestors used their hands to move around in the trees, like living primates do today, […]

#6-Migration Patterns Reveal An Eden For Encient Humans And Animals

Migration patterns reveal an Eden for ancient humans and animals Summary: Researchers have discovered a new migration pattern (or lack of) at Pinnacle Point, a now-submerged region in South Africa. While it was first believed large omnivores would travel to follow the growth of vegetation to survive, our researcher came to a completely new conclusion

#3-Supercomputer model simulations reveal cause of Neanderthal extinction

Supercomputer model simulations reveal cause of Neanderthal extinction Summary: Climate scientists discover that according to new supercomputer model simulations, only competition between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens can explain the rapid demise of Neanderthals around 43 to 38 thousand years ago.               Neanderthals, 43,000 years ago
