The teeth are from Paranthropus robustus, an extinct hominin genus that emerged and evolved in Africa between 2.8 and 1.2 Ma. It is considered to be a side branch of our evolutionary tree. It walked ...

"Human children grow at a uniquely slow pace by comparison with other mammals. When and where did this schedule evolve? Have technological advances, farming and cities had any effect upon it?

For most of human history, straight, well spaced teeth were the norm, not a luxury that required years of metal and elastic bands. Archaeologists routinely lift ancient skulls from the ground and find ...

The Mystra platform, developed over 10 years, offers biopharma partners proven analytical power to turn months of R&D into minutes, dramatically increasing the availability of quality genetic insights ...
