Reduced sperm competition in gorillas has led to relaxed selection on male reproductive genes, revealing new genetic contributors to fertility in both gorillas and humans.
Infants as young as 3 months show strong brain responses to music, but structured spontaneous movement responses emerge only by 12 months, suggesting that auditory processing of music precedes the development of complex music-driven motor behavior.
Early mammals became relatively large-bodied before their teeth evolved the diverse shapes and functions associated with different diets and ecological roles.
Whole-genome sequencing of the Faroese population reveals a unique genetic history shaped by Viking and Celtic ancestry, founder effects, isolation, and adaptation, providing new insight into disease risk and human evolution in the North Atlantic.
Custom hardware and specialised imaging methodology enable direct imaging of collagen through MRI, which could enhance the study and diagnosis of diseases affecting connective tissues.
