Other scholars insist that while our ancestors' diets did include meat, it was predominantly scavenged and not hunted. Still others argue that particular plant foods such as roots and tubers were of greate

Beneath the Turkish city of Zeugma lies something you probably won't find by taking a shovel to the patches of dirt in your backyard. Unless, of course, your house is where the Ancient Greeks used to roam. An excavation in Turkey, led by Oxford Archaeology, unearthed three mosaics that are as beautiful as they are old. The mosaics feature some important figures of Ancient Greek mythology, but you don't have to be well-versed on that to enjoy the incredible quality of the pieces.

Examination of DNA from 21 primate species – from squirrel monkeys to humans – exposes an evolutionary war against infectious bacteria over iron that circulates in the host’s bloodstream. Supported by experimental evidence, these findings demonstrate the vital importance of an increasingly appreciated defensive strategy called nutritional immunity.

The first findings of the Avian Phylogenomics Consortium are being reported nearly simultaneously in 29 papers -- eight papers in a Dec. 12 special issue of Science and 21 more in Genome Biology, GigaScience and other journals. The analyses suggest some remarkable new ideas about bird evolution, including insights into vocal learning and the brain, colored plumage, sex chromosomes and the birds' relationship to dinosaurs and crocodiles.

The cereal crops that humans rely on today as staple foods result from plant breeding decisions our ancestors made more than 10,000 years ago. Now, a series of intriguing experiments has revealed why those first arable farmers chose to domesticate some cereals and not others. The results could help today's plant breeders improve tomorrow's crops.
