Competition between species played a major role in the rise and fall of hominins – and produced a “bizarre” evolutionary pattern for the Homo lineage – according to a new University of Cambridge study ...

“The more species of Homo there were, the higher the rate of speciation. So when those niches got filled, something drove even more species to emerge. This is almost unparalleled in evolutionary ...

Human evolution might be more "bizarre" than we once thought, according to a new study. In the past, scientists believed that hominin evolution was largely driven by changes in climate. But now, ...

When an individual directly alters the resource-attaining behavior of other individuals, the interaction is considered interference competition. For example, when a male gorilla prohibits other males ...

As our species (Homo sapiens) evolved and spread across the globe, they were contemporary with several other hominins. These ...

Halfway down the east slope of the Andes in Ecuador, sightings of the luminous yellow beaks of the chestnut-mandibled toucan are abruptly replaced by the colorful beaks of the white-throated toucan.
