Researchers from Harvard University used AI to analyze nearly 16,000 ancient and 6,400 modern genomes, revealing 479 gene variants shaped by natural selection in West Eurasia over the last 10,000 ...
Some of the smallest organisms might have influenced our own evolutionary path. A new study has found that the distribution ...
New research challenges long-standing assumptions about human evolution, revealing that natural selection has been more ...
How do our genes determine our appearance and our susceptibility to disease? This question is central to biomedical research, ...
In 1758, Swedish biologist Carl Linnaeus gave humans a scientific name: Homo sapiens, which means "wise human" in Latin. Although Linnaeus grouped humans with other apes, it was English biologist ...
Prehistoric humans in Africa may have avoided areas infested with malaria-spreading mosquitoes, a new study suggests.
Fossils unearthed in Ethiopia are reshaping our view of human evolution. Instead of a straight march from ape-like ancestors to modern humans, researchers now see a tangled, branching tree with ...
Researchers found that ancient hominids—including early humans—were exposed to lead throughout childhood, leaving chemical traces in fossil teeth. Experiments suggest this exposure may have driven ...
A new paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution, published by Oxford University Press, finds that the relatively high rate of Autism-spectrum disorders in humans is likely due to how humans evolved in ...
