Groundbreaking new research by Professor of Anthropology Daniel E. Lieberman â86 validates what Bruce Springsteen has been saying for yearsâhuman beings are, indeed, born to run.

The evolution of a physique for long-distance running is what made humans look the way we do now. The crucial role of running in human evolution, overlooked in previous research, is being proposed in an article

The ancestors of humans began walking upright while they were still living in trees, a theory suggests.

Humans evolved into the way they look today probably because of the need to cover long distances, scientists said today.

In the beginning were the bones. Fossils dating back hundreds of thousands- even millions- of years used by anthropologists to trace how the human species evolved.

A new analysis of bones unearthed nearly 40 years ago in Ethiopia has pushed the fossil record of modern humans back to nearly 200,000 years ago &#151; perhaps close to the dawn of the species.

The earliest-known human ancestors to migrate out of Africa possessed a surprising mix of human-like and primitive features, according to scientists who studied remains dug up at a fossil-rich site in the former Soviet republic of Georgia.

Lice genes have been a head-scratcher for experts in human origins who now suspect that we humans picked up some parasites from our more primitive ancestors.

WASHINGTON - A human ancestor the size of a chimp walked upright six million years ago - about three million years earlier than Lucy, the famous bipedal hominid, researchers say.

DNA is aiding fossil hunters in the search for human origins by approaching the search for human origins from a different angle.

Men have always slept around and new research suggests primitive man traveled far from home to do it. Scientists have been looking into ancient sexual dalliances and human migration patterns by virtue of the

long thought to be a byproduct of walking for early man - was actually an instrumental step in the evolution of people from ape-like creatures into what we know today as humans.

Chimpanzees and humans split from a common ancestor just 4 million years ago -- a much shorter time than current estimates of 5 million to 7 million years ago, according to a study published on Friday.

The ability of early human ancestors to run long distances may have influenced the transition to today's body form, researchers report.

Humans evolved from ape-like ancestors because they needed to run long distances - perhaps to hunt animals or scavenge carcasses on Africaâs vast savannah â-nd the ability to run shaped our anatomy, making us look like we do today.

Ancient bison DNA may help explain a longstanding mystery of North American wildlife: why mammoths, North American lions, short-faced bears and many other large mammals disappeared about 10,000 years ago.

LONDON - It&#39;s our ability to run, not walk, that sets humans apart as the world&#39;s dominant species, researchers say. According to an anatomical analysis by two US scientists, we&#39;re built to run.
