    A decade ago, a revolutionary paper showed that a hormone called oxytocin can actually make us trust other people.

    People with heart failure must be screened for signs of depression and offered counselling, scientists say. A small study presented at the European Society of Cardiology suggested patients with depression were more likely to die within a year.

It means this new hominin was alive at the same time as several other early human species, suggesting our family tree is more complicated than was thought.

    Many ants lay down trails of chemicals wherever they walk. They use these trails to find their way to food and return home with ease. One species, the desert ant, does not.
