Description |
Male Faces May Have Evolved to Be Punch-Resistant | This informational text resource is intended to support reading in the content area. The article describes new research suggesting that human ancestors, particularly males, evolved stronger jaws that were resistant to punches. (Females, perhaps less prone to fighting, do not show this same adaptation). This contradicts earlier hypotheses, which suggested that larger jaws evolved to better consume food resources.

International Research Team Close Human Evolution Gap with Discovery of 1.4 Million-Year-Old Fossil | Scientists discover a fossil which dates back 1.42 million years and shows the development of a bone not found in human fossils prior to this date. |
What We Learned about Human Origins in 2013 | This informational text is intended to support reading in the content area. The article summarizes the gains in the understanding of hominid evolution to include comparative archaeology and biology, DNA and tool analysis. |
Meet the Oldest Member of the Human Family | This informational text is intended to support reading in the content area. This article from Scientific American describes a fossil skull of a new genus and species of hominid thought to be 7 million years old, which was found in central Africa. |
New Fossils Reveal Older Human Ancestor | This informational text resource is intended to support reading in the content area. This text is about the finding of a hominid fossil that is 1.5 million years older than other hominid fossils found to date. |
