Early hominins may have had a combination of ape-like early maturity and human-like delayed development, according to an analysis of 1.77-million-year-old fossilized hominin teeth from Dmanisi, Georgia, published in Nature. […]
A new study published in the journal Science Advances [1] by researchers at the IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP) at Pusan National University in South Korea shows that the patchwork […]
A new study published in the journal Science by an international team finds that past changes in atmospheric CO2 and corresponding shifts in climate and vegetation played a key role […]
A new study published in the journal Science finds that around 1.12 million years ago a massive cooling event in the North Atlantic and corresponding shifts in climate, vegetation and […]
A new study published in the journal Science by an international team finds that early human species adapted to mosaic landscapes and diverse food resources, which would have increased our […]
A study published in Nature by an international team of scientists provides clear evidence for a link between astronomically-driven climate change and human evolution. By combining the most extensive database […]
Wet and dry conditions in northern Africa alternated every ~20,000 years, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience. Prehistoric engravings of giraffes and swimming humans suggest […]
Climate scientists from the IBS Center for Climate Physics discover that, contrary to previously held beliefs, Neanderthal extinction was neither caused by abrupt glacial climate shifts, nor by interbreeding with […]
A landmark study pinpoints the birthplace of modern humans in southern Africa and suggests how past climate shifts drove their first migration. A study has concluded that the earliest ancestors […]
Axel Timmermann, Director of IBS Center for Climate Physics, was involved in a new research study on the diversity of ancestral populations of Homo sapiens in Africa. This study led […]
