Most people today have a little Neanderthal DNA sprinkled through their genome. These genomic signals are the telltale signs that overlapping populations of ancient anatomically modern humans and ...

Two of the traits that set modern humans apart from non-human primates are taller stature and a higher basal metabolic rate. Researchers have identified a genetic variant that contributed to the ...

Using a specially developed simulation model, researchers at the University of Cologne have traced and analysed the dynamics of possible encounters between Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans ...

The human genome is a rich, complex record of migration, encounters, and inheritance written over thousands of millennia. In this month of love, amid the exchange of flowers and cards, genomic ...

The jawbone is helping refine researchers’ understanding of Neanderthals and Anatomically Modern Humans. Archaeologists working on a dig site in the country of Georgia have discovered a 1.8 ...
