Human faces are famously flatter than those of other primates. Neanderthals, by contrast, had prominent, projecting midfaces ...

Researchers have identified five of the genes that shape a person's face, work that could help scientists better understand facial abnormalities like cleft palate and someday might even help ...

The nose tends to be one of the most noteworthy features on a person's face. But what is the origin of the human nose, and ...

An analysis of fossils suggests changes in the shape of the braincase during human evolution were linked to alterations in the face, rather than changes in the brain itself ...

In this case, however, researchers created miniature V-shaped perforations in their lab-grown skin to make it extremely flexible, then applied a collagen gel.

A smiling face made from living human skin could one day be attached to a humanoid robot, allowing machines to emote and communicate in a more life-like way, say researchers.

The Face on Mars and Other Cases of Cosmic Pareidolia The human brain loves seeing patterns, even when they aren’t really there By Phil Plait edited by Lee Billings & Clara Moskowitz ...

Humans are hardwired to see faces, even in inanimate objects. We have a lima bean-shaped part of our brains dedicated to facial recognition. But this process of seeing a face and recognizing it ...

The shape of modern human noses may be partly determined by genetic material inherited from Neanderthals, according to a new study. Neanderthals were an ancient species who lived in Eurasia until ...

Scientists aren’t sure what microscopic face mites do, but they know where to find them: in the pores and hair follicles of most adult humans’ faces.

These tiny v-shaped cavities in the robot's structure allow living tissue to infiltrate and create a secure bond, mimicking how human skin attaches to underlying tissues.
