Evolution
Scientists reconstruct the face of “Little Foot,” a 4-million-year-old human ancestor
Comparisons show the face size falls between a gorilla and an orangutan, with shape closer to orangutans and bonobos, and a closer resemblance to east african fossils in the orbital region

Before the teeth: How early humans adapted their diet 700,000 years ago
"This discovery confirms the hypothesis that behavioral adaptations, such as the deliberate choice to eat new foods, can precede morphological changes, playing a key role in evolution."
Ancient proteins found in fossils up to 24 million years old
Proteins, a cell's molecular machinery, also offer valuable information and have the virtue of surviving much longer, as new research shows.
