Indepth Feature Has the life of Australia's Aborigines remained unchanged for 45,000 years? Fossilised remains of a dinosaur with a big elbow could rewrite our understanding of how Australian dinosaurs evolved. Remains of nuts nibbled by ancient rats is ...
For early humans, one of the first displays of modern behaviour was a sort of beach party and seafood feast along the coast of South Africa, scientists say. So, scientists have long questioned why amber, the fossilised version of tree resin, often contain...

DNA from ancient human faeces found in a cave provides biological verification that people were in North America 14,000 years ago, researchers say. Giant flowers found on Australia and New Zealand's sub-Antarctic islands are probably survivors of lush for...

One of the world's top fossil hunters has unveiled a previously unknown gigantic, chicken-like dinosaur that may change evolutionary theory on prehistoric animals. The arched necks of dinosaur fossils may really be the signs of their death throes and not ...
A sophisticated new virtual skull is set to help researchers study evolution and design better crash helmets, says an Australian scientist. The ascent of the dinosaurs to the throne of the animal kingdom may have been more gradual than previously believed...
