Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe. Using advanced analysis based ...
By tracing when variations in the human genome first appeared, researchers have found that advances in cognitive abilities ...
“Human evolution is a tree,” said Prof ... “Even with the most amount of genetic data, it’s very difficult to put a time when these populations could have co-existed to within 100,000 years, or even ...
When scientists found the skull, named Yunxian 2, they assumed it belonged to an earlier ancestor of ours, Homo erectus, the first large-brained humans. That's because it dated back about a million ...
The human genome is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, the biological blueprints that make humans … well, human. But it turns out that some of our DNA — about 8% — are the remnants of ancient viruses ...
The genomes of a 5,200-year-old woman and three 4,000-year-old men yield clues about the founding of Celtic populations. New clues from ancient DNA reveal the remarkable effect of agriculture on ...
Stanford study finds rapid brain cell evolution boosted human cognition but lowered autism gene activity, raising ...
What makes the human brain different from that of other primates has long been a question. A new study suggests that the ...
Padma Bhushan awardee Prof. P. Balaram explores the link between Mendelian genetics, Darwinian evolution, and chemistry at ...
A new study has examined micronutrient-driven adaptation worldwide and across a broad range of micronutrients. We spoke with ...
A million-year-old human skull found in China suggests that our species, Homo sapiens, began to emerge at least half a million years earlier than we thought, researchers are claiming in a new study.
