So far, only two species of primates (besides humans) were known to mate face-to-face in the wild: bonobos and orangutans. But the Wildlife Conservation Society has presented a pair of wild western lowland gorillas in Africa having face-to-face sex. This had been seen in Zoo mountain gorillas, but never seen in the l... |

Why did humans' ancestors start to walk on two feet? The debate is more vivid than that if it was Britney Spears or not in her last video, and only in the last year it has come with several theories, from bipedal (two feet) walking in the tree of the orangutans, to energy saving. Now, add a new one: Lia Amaral, ... |

Men dream on being polygamous, some do it unofficially, and in Muslim countries they do it legally; but, a new research, published in the journal "Science", shows that some early humans could have had "harems", such as male gorillas and orangutans have. This mating pattern in modern apes emerges when males mature lat... |

The lack of fossils had forced scientists to make complicated hypotheses about how apes emerged in Africa 22 million years ago, migrated to Europe and Asia, disappeared from Africa, migrated back in Africa from Europe and from that lineage humans, chimps and gorillas appeared. But a new 10-million-year old jaw bone a... |

We look at a chimp and we imagine this is how our ancestors looked like and walked. But many researches show that the common chimp-human ancestor was more human-like. And now it appears that this ancestor was bipedal (it walked on two feet), not being a knuckle dragger. The concept of the humans as "upright apes" is ... |

A big gap in the human evolution is going to be filled. Recently found fossil teeth of a gorilla-like ape that lived about 10 million years ago are a first archaeological clue of when gorillas split off from the human-chimp lineage of apes.The finding was made in the Afar rift valley of Ethiopia, where most important... |

Australopithecus was the first lineage that split from a common ape ancestor of the humans and chimps 4 million years ago. A new research points to the fact that these ape-like human ancestors kept short ape-like legs for 2 million years because a squat physique could have been a strong support in male combat over ac... |

A DNA analysis of pubic lice, aka "crabs" revealed that the parasites were transferred from gorillas to early humans about 3.3 million years ago. This points to a close contact between our ancestors and gorillas, but it is far more likely that early humans got the lice from sleeping in abandoned gorilla nests or eati... |
