The genetic hardware that gave rise to humanity’s unique language capabilities first emerged at least 135,000 years ago, when all Homo sapiens still lived in one unbroken tribe. As this original group ...
A new study explores the long-debated question of when humans first developed language. Genome-level research suggests early Homo sapiens may have begun using language around 135,000 years ago. While ...
One of the major issues in palaeoanthropology and archaeology is when our hominin ancestors became like us. Humans living today have developed the capacity for ‘modern behavior'. Modern behavior can ...

Research conducted at the Department of Biology, University of Padova, has identified critical genomic milestones in the evolution of Homo sapiens, including key chromosomal rearrangements and ...
Humans speak more than 7,000 languages today. As different as they all seem, researchers argue in a new review that they all stem from a single linguistic family tree that emerged before our species ...
A new study warns modern life may undermine key human survival traits, from fertility to cognition, as environmental ...
