Ancient DNA reveals how farming accelerated human evolution, driving genetic changes over the past 10,000 years.

While it’s certainly a possibility, it’s very, very unlikely we’ll witness a new species of human evolve in the near future.

Frequent burn exposure may have driven human genetic adaptations that improve healing but worsen severe injury outcomes.

Many people today simply assume that our evolution has quietly ended with the development of the modern human. It's easy to think that medicine, science, and modern living have made us "perfect" or ...

Researchers discovered that autism’s prevalence may be linked to human brain evolution. Specific neurons in the outer brain evolved rapidly, and autism-linked genes changed under natural selection.

Human Evolution has come pretty far during our time on Earth. But, do you ever wonder, what humans could evolve to look like 100, 200, or 2,000 years from now? How might we be different? Join Hank and ...
