In a genomic study encompassing more than 300 genomes, researchers determined the time period during which Neanderthals interbred with modern humans, starting...
Scientists have sequenced and analyzed the genomes of seven individuals who lived between 42,000 and 49,000 years ago in Ranis, Germany and Zlatý kůň,...
The Linear Pottery Culture (Linearbandkeramik, LBK) communities, which were the first to spread farming across large parts of Europe, showed no signs of...
The Vikings played a preeminent role in the peopling of the North Atlantic, and one might expect populations that were founded by them to be genetically...
Scientists from Queen Mary University of London and the University of Hong Kong have created mouse stem cells capable of generating a fully developed mouse...
The identification of a new hominin group called Denisovans was one of the most exciting discoveries in human evolution in the last decade. Unlike Neanderthal...
