One of the defining features of human evolution is the steady expansion of our brains. New findings suggest this growth may be partly linked to higher levels of estrogen before birth. Surprisingly, a ...

The evolution of the human species is marked by an increase in brain size. Now new research suggests that could be partly dependent on increases in prenatal estrogen—revealed by looking at the length ...

The evolution of human hands is one of the most important – and overlooked – stories of our origin. Now, new fossil evidence ...

Human evolution has long been tied to growing brain size, and new research suggests prenatal hormones may have played a surprising role. By studying the relative lengths of index and ring fingers — a ...

It's hard to imagine a world where Homo sapiens could have gotten very far without hands. Over thousands of years, our species has been heavily reliant on palms and fingers to accomplish a wide ...

The evolution of the human species is marked by an increase in brain size. Now new research suggests that could be partly dependent on increases in prenatal oestrogen - revealed by looking at the leng ...

Newborn finger proportions may reflect early hormone exposure and could be linked to differences in early brain growth.

Scientists uncover how finger-length ratios in newborns reveal hormonal influences that may have shaped human brain evolution.

The evolution of the human species is marked by an increase in brain size and research suggests that could be partly dependent on increases in prenatal oestrogen. As individuals with high oestrogen ...

Scientists find clue to human brain evolution in finger length: Study ...
