New Oxford research links right-hand dominance to brain growth, upright walking, and human evolution millions of years ago

A landmark study suggests that the evolution of larger human brains and smaller faces was shaped not only by natural selection, but also by chance, biological constraints, and cultural innovation.

A major genetic study suggests the gene behind red hair became more common in Europe over the past 10,000 years through natural selection, possibly offering advantages in low-sunlight environments and reflecting broader shifts in human survival after farming.
