Meet the First European

Forensic artist reconstructs face of first modern human found in Europe

(NEWSER) - Meet the first modern European. His face—or hers, as researchers have been unable to determine the sex—was reconstructed by a forensic artist based on a partial skull and jawbone discovered in a Romanian cave. The facial features linked to the 35,000-year-old bones recall the continent's immediate African ancestors, reports the Guardian. Scientists speculate the skin color was darker than present-day Europeans. More»

Researchers have discovered that the base of the hindbrain and upper spinal cord is the starting point for all vocalizations. More»

Study Links Sex and Gambling

Financial risk-taking lights up brain's pleasure center

(NEWSER) - Taking risks with money lights up the same parts of the brain as sexual arousal, a "neuroeconomics" study has found. Men shown sexy pictures gambled more daringly than those shown scary pictures—spiders and snakes—or neutral pictures, reports the AP. The study of 15 heterosexual Stanford students focused on the nucleus accumbens, which sits near the base of the brain and plays a central role in the experience of pleasure. More»
