The onset of the last ice age may have forced some bird species to abandon their northerly migrations for thousands of years, says new research led by an ornithologist. The study challenges a long ...

The Little Ice Age allowed a new wave of arctic foxes to colonise Iceland, according to new research.

The Little Ice Age allowed a new wave of arctic foxes to colonise Iceland, according to new research. A "bridge" of sea ice appeared during a dip in temperatures between 200 to 500 years ago ...

Ice age bison fossils offer new clues to the early migration of humans in North America, according to a report released by UC Santa Cruz on Monday.

Because of that, simulated bird migrations shift more in the Americas. In the Americas, about 20 percent fewer bird species migrate in the simulated coldest ice age climate.

The analysis of the DNA of human bones from 51 prehistoric people goes beyond explaining the complexity of migrations back then. It also shows how European population has evolved through time.

The population of Stone Age Europe underwent a radical transformation toward the end of the last Ice Age, according to a study of ancient DNA.

You’d think that homo sapiens would have chosen a comfortable climatic period to migrate out of Africa for the first time. But ancient fossils recently dug up in a cave in the Carmel suggest that our ...

The analysis also suggests that Ice Age Europeans had dark complexions and brown eyes until about 14,000 years ago, when blue eyes began to spread across the population.

New research reveals that early humans who took refuge in modern-day Spain and Portugal were the only Europeans to survive the last Ice Age.
