Research Shows Twin Births Were Common in Ancient Primate Evolution
Research suggests that ancient primates, including early humans, typically gave birth to twins, a common trait in their evolutionary history. Over time, singletons became more prevalent due to the survival advantages of larger, more developed offspring. This shift is linked to the evolution of primates' larger brains and bodies, requiring more ener...

Advanced 3D Fossil Scans Provide Clues to the Origins of Bipedalism in Human Evolution
A new study published in the American Journal of Primatology uses advanced 3D scanning technology to examine fossilized bones and muscle insertion points, shedding light on the evolution of bipedalism in human ancestors. Led by Professor Josep M. Potau from the University of Barcelona, the research suggests that early hominins, like Australopithecu...
