Researchers have identified a gene that is associated with taller noses in humans and found it likely comes from Neanderthals, an extinct hominin group intimately related to our own species.

In a recent study published in the journal Communications Biology, researchers explore novel genetic loci linked to facial morphology using genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Study: Automatic ...

The story of how us humans—and other mammals—got our noses may have just gotten more complicated. This is the conclusion of a new study by researchers from Japan who have studied how the face develops ...
