After 10 years, members of the 4D Nucleome consortium have successfully completed the first phase of a project that aims to ...

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 ...

Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming medicine’s most powerful microscope, revealing patterns in human DNA that were ...

Scientists have long debated how modern humans evolved. For decades, most researchers agreed that Homo sapiens came from one ancestral group in Africa, dating back 200,000 to 300,000 years. But new ...

For decades, the disappearance of Neanderthals has been explained through dramatic stories of sudden extinction. Some theories suggested they were hunted, others that they starved when climates ...

A new DNA model suggests humans didn't reach Australia until 50,000 years ago, but archaeological data disagrees. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here ...

Find out what are the key reasons we need to broaden the sample size of the original map of human DNA created by the Human Genome Project. Clinical drug trials have historically had a much higher rate ...

This innovative approach combines climate data, archaeological evidence, and population dynamics to simulate how Neanderthals moved across the landscape. The model reveals that by the time ...
