In a significant breakthrough, researchers at the University of Bordeaux, in collaboration with other institutions, have made new discoveries in the field of biological anthropology, shedding light on the evolution of modern humans in southern China during the Late Pleistocene. The study, published in the American Journal of Biological Anthropology,
Brain
Human ancestors were exposed to lead millions of years ago, and it had a profound impact on their evolution, brain development, and even the development of language. A groundbreaking international study has revealed that our ancestors were periodically exposed to lead for over two million years, with the toxic metal

Brain
The toxic substance we battle today has been intertwined with the human evolution story from its very beginning, a new study has revealed. Researchers found clear traces of lead sealed within the fossils of early humans and other ancestral species, with some specimens dating back up to two million years.
Brain
Ancient humans were exposed to lead, a powerful neurotoxin, for millions of years, and this exposure may have played a role in the evolution of the human brain. Our new study, published in a recent issue of a science journal, reveals that early humans had a continuous exposure to lead
