Is it dry or humid? This is the ultimate question when choosing what to wear.

Curly hair does more than simply look good—it may explain how early humans stayed cool while conserving water, according to researchers who studied the role human hair textures play in regulating body temperature. The findings can shed light on an evolutionary adaptation that enabled the human brain to grow to modern-day sizes.

Rising temperatures from climate change jeopardize global food production, with a potential 40% labor productivity decline in key regions by 2100, affecting both crops and agricultural workers.

It is predicted that the planet's average temperature could be between 2 and 9.7°F (1.1 to 5.4°C) warmer in 2100 than it is today. But what impact would this increase in temperature have on the global workforce?

The future of global food production is under threat as temperature rises will impact farmers' physical capacity to work, a new study has revealed.
