In a new study, a scientist has suggested that if it were not for the dinosaurs, humans could have extended their lifespan by up to 200 years. Microbiologist Joao Pedro de Magalhaes, from University of Birmingham in the UK, has emphasised an evident difference between how quickly mammals, like humans, age and how the ageing takes place in reptiles and amphibians.

Do you know humans could live for 200 years? But dinosaurs didn't let this happen

Toxoplasma gondii, notorious for its transmission through cats, is under scrutiny for its potential role in increased frailty among older adults. With an estimated 11-15 per cent of the US population having encountered this parasite, a new study sheds light on overlooked health consequences associated with T.

An 8.7 million-year-old ape skull raises the possibility that human and ape ancestors diverged outside of Africa, in Europe. The idea that humans and apes originated in Africa may be called into question by the discovery of an ape skull in Turkey. The discovery raises the possibility that hominins originated in Europe.

Did humans and apes come from Europe?
