A study into tooth wear in a group of wild Japanese macaques has significant implications for the study of human evolution.

Everyone experiences smells in their own unique way – the same scent can be pleasant, too intense or even undetectable to different noses.

Kindness is key to how we evolved and survived as a species, scientists say. We are hard-wired to be kind.

The missing link isn’t a not-yet-discovered fossil, after all. It’s a tiny, self-replicating globule called a coacervate droplet.
