Study involved analysis of an adult tooth root, and a bone from a one-year-old baby.

New analysis into the residue inside ancient ceramic vessels from 11th-12th century Jerusalem has found that they were potentially used as hand grenades. Previous research into the diverse sphero-conical containers, which are within museums around th

Scientists have discovered that Neanderthals showed remarkable flexibility to environmental changes around them and would travel to where they were most comfortable.

Scientists developed and used methods to depict how humans survive during the sudden change in temperatures.

In the mid-1970s, the U.S. State Department prohibited the internal use of the term "space colony," due to the global bad reputation of colonialism. Instead, the government opted for "space settlement." Of course, as Stewart Brand pointed out at the time, the last thing you do in space is settle. Quite the opposite! Making the decision to explore space -- and live there -- is just about the most unsettled act a human can commit.

Climate change — and the issues surrounding it — can be difficult to understand. Here's why a professor is optimistic about climate change.

ASU Professor Abigail York talks about how governance impacts climate change, the need for local action and international agreements, and why she's optimistic about the future, just in time for Earth Day.

According to a new study, ancient humans evolved as a result of climate change by settling and adapting to different habitats. Climate change caused by astronomical influences including tilt in the Earth's axis and variations in the shape of the Earth's orbit around the sun has altered how much solar radiation reaches the globe, according to a study published in Nature. According to scholars, this contributed to the Ice Age and warmer interglacial times.

In the largest simulation of data spanning over two million years, scientists have found unique patterns showing how climate contributed to the emergence of modern-day humans.
