High-quality diet may have led to bigger human brain: CSIR-CCMB-led international study reveals genetic link between diet and brain size An international study involving scientists from the United ...

Human testicles are much smaller, in proportion, to some of our primate cousins. Evolution can tell us why. But the size of ...

The human body is a machine whose many parts—from the microscopic details of our cells to our limbs, eyes, liver and brain—have been assembled in fits and starts over the 4 billion years of our ...

Unlike other primates, humans are exposed to high levels of placental sex hormones in the womb, which may have shaped our ...

The discovery may explain why cutting edge CAR T-cell therapy has managed to revolutionized treatment for blood cancer but ...

Stegosaurus is one of those dinosaurs we all recognise straight away—big, slow, covered in plates, and dragging a spiky tail ...

Size matters when it comes to evolution But convergent evolution becomes something useful when we think of it as a kind of natural experiment. The size of primate testicles gives us a classic example.

Recent discoveries using lab-grown brain organoids, or "mini-brains," suggest that testosterone increases brain size while estrogens improve connectivity between neurons. Humans, unlike most other ...

Researchers from the universities of Cambridge and Oxford suggest that hormones produced by the placenta influenced brain ...
