Researchers uncovered Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA still linked to diabetes, heart disease, and cancer in modern Japanese genomes
Somewhere between 50,000 and 60,000 years ago, the ancestors of modern East Asians interbred with Neanderthals and Denisovans ...
Scientists have discovered that a gene called MUC19, inherited from Denisovans through ancient interbreeding, may have played a vital role in helping Indigenous ancestors adapt as they migrated into ...
Modern humans are evolutionary survivors, thriving generation after generation while our ancient relatives died out. Now, new research into our brain chemistry suggests that an enzyme unique to Homo ...
Origins Science Scholars Series—“Tracing Evolution: Where Modern Human Variation Comes from and Why”
The Origins Science Scholars Series will continue with a presentation by Cynthia Beall, Distinguished University Professor and the Sarah Idell Pyle Professor of Anthropology, titled “Tracing Evolution ...
A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences finds that estimated brain differences between Neanderthals and early modern humans fall within the range seen among living ...
The fossil and genetic evidence agree that modern humans originated in Africa. The most genetically diverse human populations—the groups that have had the longest time to pick up novel mutations—live ...
A genomic study encompassing more than 300 genomes spanning the last 50,000 years has revealed how a single wave of Neandertal gene flow into early modern humans left an indelible mark on human ...
In 2001 scientists studying human language made a breakthrough: by looking at the DNA of a family with a rare speech disability, they found that a mutation in a single gene called FOXP2 were ...
