An EHU study analyzing different genetic markers associated with facial features of the European population has shown a ...

Our faces don’t just distinguish us from other people, but other species as well. Neanderthals bore stout jaws and broad noses, their features jutting forward like cliffs of bone. Chimpanzees ...

A forensic scientist crouches down on a dirty factory floor. There’s a pool of blood, and they delicately dip a swab into it ...

Researchers have identified five of the genes that shape a person's face, work that could help scientists better understand facial abnormalities like cleft palate and someday might even help ...

Humans are innately capable of recognizing other people they have seen before. This capability ultimately allows them to ...

Our facial features are made of highly polygenic genes, meaning it’s hard to say that this gene develops the nose and that one the lips because many different genes play a role. Additionally, ...

Over time, the size of human faces became smaller, generations after they had bred with Neanderthals. But the actual shape of some facial features retained evidence of interbreeding with ...
