Ancient social networks helped Homo sapiens survive where Neanderthals weakened
New research suggests that the disappearance of Neanderthals was not just due to harsh climate or competition with Homo sapiens, but also to a more fragile social and spatial structure. According to the model, the extensive networks of connections of Homo sapiens

The Cambrian Explosion was a period in which more diverse and complex animals appeared in the fossil record. New theoretical research suggests that the early development of complex brains contributed to animals' ability to process information, and later to the emergence of diverse body shapes.
