A new study shows that humans’ small faces are unique, in part because they stop growing in adolescence. 🧪
Why modern humans have smaller faces than Neanderthals and chimpanzees
We have smaller faces than Neanderthals and even chimps. A new study may explain how this came to be.

Twins were the norm for our ancient primate ancestors − one baby at a time had evolutionary advantages
Twins are pretty rare, accounting for just 3% of births in the US these days. But new research shows that for primates 60 million years ago, giving birth to twins was the norm.

The echinoid fossil in this 400,000 year old handaxe from Swanscombe, Kent, had quite a journey.
Living over 65 million years ago it survived Cretaceous seas, fossilisation, Ice Age rivers, Neanderthal culture, more rivers, & quarrying to enter our scientific record.
