Human dexterity and brains evolved hand in hand - Communications Biology Thumbs and brains coevolved in primates. Across living and extinct species, longer thumbs predict bigger brains, highlighting the neural cost of dexterity.

New #research co-authored by our Prof Rob Barton reveals that in primates, longer thumbs and larger brains evolved together 🧠

When Lemurs Took the Long Road to Diversity New research shows Madagascar’s primates didn’t diversify in one great leap, but in a series of evolutionary surges—with hybridization playing a surprising role.

Lemurs didn’t diversify in one big leap. A new study finds multiple bursts of speciation—fueled by hybridization—shaped Madagascar’s primate diversity into the Pleistocene. What does this mean for evolution and conservation? #Anthropology #PrimateEvolution #Lemurs

Earth's early primates evolved in the cold — not the tropics Fossil spore and pollen data reveal our early ancestors evolved in cold, dry environments, with some even colonizing Arctic regions.
