Earliest primate ancestor had surprisingly tiny brain

"The earliest ancestors of old-world monkeys, apes and humans had surprisingly small brains, a new study shows.
This finding - based on a newly described fossil skull - means that large brains evolved independently in new- and old-world primates. It also suggests that evolutionary anthropologists may have to rethink some cherished theories about why such big, powerful brains evolved."
I'll come back to this later - my bedtime now...

"Chimps prefer the older woman"

"Chimpanzee males prefer to have sex with older females, according to US researchers, showing one of the biggest behavioural differences between humans and our closest biological relatives."
Scraggy, wrinkled skin, drooping nipples and bald patches are the epitome of female desirability to young male chimps. Bodies showing the ravages of having given birth are a sign of success and something worth fighting for.
Check out the article for more about the contrasts between human and chimpanzee sexual behaviour.
