UNBELIEVABLE three-million-year-old razor-sharp vegetable peelers used by the world’s oldest humans have been discovered. The ...

New research uses 3D modeling to reconstruct Lucy's running style, revealing surprising insights into the evolution of human ...

The University of Liverpool has led an international team of scientists to take a fresh look at the running capabilities of ...

Researchers have discovered that healthy skin — once thought to be a passive barrier — can actually produce antibodies that fight off infections. It’s hoped that the finding could one day lead to the ...

生活在300多万年前的小型古人类阿法南方古猿（Australopithecus afarensis），其跑步能力远逊于现代人。美国杜克大学的研究人员通过3D计算机模拟发现，这种早期人类亲缘物种虽然像现代人一样用双腿行走，但在速度和耐力上都存在显著差距。

Ancient human relatives ran on two legs, like modern humans, but at a much slower pace, suggest 3D computer simulations of Australopithecus afarensis 1 — a small hominin that lived more than ...

In a study published in Current Biology, researchers have revealed that Australopithecus afarensis, an ancient hominin species, exhibited a limited capacity for running. This small bipedal ancestor, ...

Lucy, an early human ancestor who walked upright on two legs—a milestone in human evolution—had speed and energy efficiency ...

It had been thought that A. anamensis was the direct ancestor of a later, more advanced species called Australopithecus afarensis, which in turn has been considered a direct ancestor of the first ...

Lucy, our 3.2 million-year-old ancestor of the species Australopithecus afarensis, may not have won gold in the Olympics – ...

Given the long arms and different body proportions of species like Australopithecus afarensis, though, researchers have assumed that australopithecines were less capable of walking on two legs ...

To get a picture of how Lucy's species, Australopithecus afarensis, moved, scientists compare fossils to the bones of modern humans, as well as to the anatomy of "knuckle-walking" primates like ...
