Cognitive processes that spot illusory faces are the same ones responsible for identifying and analyzing real human faces, researchers say.

The human may have been an ancestor to Neanderthal populations in Europe and archaic populations in Asia.

The assumption that human cognition is attuned to detect just signals of danger may not be correct.

Human brains grew in size to develop skills for hunting smaller animals, a study says.

The survival of an endangered songbird species is further threatened because so few of its adults remain to teach love songs.

This DNA could help evolutionary researchers convey statements about "how mammoths came to be mammoths, why they look the way they do and how diverse they were."

"It's a fascinating example of how sexual conflict can lead to the evolution of mating tactics that help one sex but hinder the other," said the study's co-author.

Researchers suggest early humans hibernated after discovering fossils that show bone growth stopped for months at a time every year.

The “fittest” is often the friendliest and most cooperative.
