Comparative genomics of all known Laverania species that infect African great apes reveals interspecies gene transfer and convergent evolution, and identifies features of Plasmodium falciparum, the only human-infective species within this subgenus, that may have led to its speciation and spread globally.

The Evolution of Stature in Humans
Hormone Research, 2008There is significant evidence that a positive secular trend, apparently due to improved socioeconomic conditions, has led to taller stature today compared with 150-200 years ago. However, study of fossil remains of our hominid ancestors demonstrates the stature of individuals living during the last million years reached the range of heights seen today.

The Evolution of Human Hearing
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1969Five descriptive parameters of hearing—high-frequency and low-frequency sensitivity, lowest threshold. best frequency, and area of the audible field—are compared statistically, first, among mammals in general, and then, among seven animals selected to approximate a phylogenetic sequence of man's ancestors.

Theory in Biosciences, 2010
Human beings are distinguished from all other organisms by their symbolic way of processing information about the world. This unique cognitive style is qualitatively different from all the earlier hominid cognitive styles, and is not simply an improved version of them.

The evolution of the human menopause
Climacteric, 2019The females of most species die soon after ceasing to reproduce, their purpose in life being to ensure survival of their kin. Human females may live more than one-third of their lives after they cease to reproduce, a property shared by few species, one of which is Orca whales. Orcas have been extensively studied because families live together in stable

Publisher Summary Studies of human brain function and dysfunction have provided data, including the identification of many genes essential for the normal human condition. Molecular evolution studies have provided evidence that the changes in some of these genes gave a selective advantage, and are thus primary candidates in the search for genes ...

Summary. I. A species can usually be diagnosed for purposes of classification on the basis of a few characters. An assessment of its phyletic relations entails a consideration of as many characters as can usefully be defined.2. Owing to a confusion of taxonomy with phylogeny, the uneven classification of fossil anthropoid and human remains has helped ...

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, 2014
Our understanding of human evolutionary and population history can be advanced by ecological and evolutionary studies of our parasites. Many parasites flourish only in the presence of very specific human behaviors and in specific habitats, are wholly dependent on us, and have evolved with us for thousands or millions of years. Therefore, by asking when

The evolution of human longevity
Medical Hypotheses, 1980In the comparatively short history of human evolution man's lifespan has doubled, posing the question, by what means was this prolongation of life achieved. One line of thought correlates lifespan with oxygen consumption and energy generation, pointing out that small homeothersms which expend energy at a very high rate, are invariable short lived ...
