New research led by Max-Planck Institute of Geoanthropology and University of Cambridge scientists suggests malaria did more than sicken ancient populations, it steered where early humans could live, fragmenting groups and influencing the genetic map of our species. Colucci et al. explored whether Plasmodium falciparum-induced malaria drove habitat choice in human societies 74,000 to 5,000…

Ilhan Omar went on a ‘war is hell’ rant recently during an interview. She shared her own experience as a ‘war survivor’ to explain why she didn’t want the people of Iran to experience it. She left out one important fact. I think of war through the lens of…
We’ve never seen so many pro-abortion liberals side with the pope before, but anything that they think stands in opposition to President Donald Trump is a good thing. As we reported earlier in the week, former ABC political director Mark Halperin laughably said that if Trump attacks the pope, such as calling him “too…
Using high-resolution CT and synchrotron scanning, paleontologists confirmed that the fossilized specimen from the Early Triassic of the South African Karoo Basin contains an unborn dicynodont Lystrosaurus, resolving a long-standing mystery about whether early mammal ancestors laid eggs. The researchers suggest the dicynodont eggs were likely soft-shelled, explaining why they have remained elusive for so…
Paleontologists have identified a new genus and species of fossil ape that lived about 17-18 million years ago in northern Egypt. The discovery suggests that the ancestors of modern apes — and humans — may have emerged not in East Africa, but at a crossroads between Africa and Eurasia.

Known from a single skull discovered in South Africa in 1952, Cistecynodon parvus has been shuffled across the evolutionary tree: described at various times as a close relative of advanced cynodonts, a juvenile of another species and even something outside the group altogether. Now, a new study using computed tomography (CT) scans to digitally reconstruct…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The U.S. State Department on Wednesday expanded its list of countries whose citizens will be required to post bonds of up to $15,000 to apply for U.S. business or tourist visas. The department added 12 nations to the growing list — Cambodia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Grenada, Lesotho, Mauritius,…
Paleontologists analyzing fossils from Ethiopia have described a previously unknown crocodile species that shared the landscape with a hominid species called Australopithecus afarensis. Named Crocodylus lucivenator, the formidable predator may have stalked Australopithecus afarensis at watering holes in the wetlands and woodlands of the Pliocene. Crocodylus lucivenator overlapped with the famed Lucy and her hominin…
