The story of how us humans—and other mammals—got our noses may have just gotten more complicated. This is the conclusion of a new study by researchers from Japan who have studied how the face develops ...

Brain organoids, three-dimensional models of the brain, are a boon to neuroscience, making it possible to study the development, evolution and disease of the brain in a model that is based on human ...

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the process differed from the evolution of chimpanzees. For the study, published ...

Where Cat Bohannon first came as a child and now with a call for a new way of looking at human development. Cat Bohannon: We have a lot of stories about the evolution of mammals. We especially have a ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be the result of millions of years of evolution. Rapid neuronal evolution in humans is likely ASD’s genetic cause, new research suggests. Though autism can cause ...
