Scientists have uncovered evidence that modern humans emerged from two long-separated ancestral groups, not just one. This ...

Scientists discovered humans descended from two ancient populations, not one. These groups split 1.5 million years ago.

A novel genetic model suggests that the ancestors of modern humans came from two distinct populations that split and reconnected during our evolutionary history.

Genes from the minority population, particularly those related to brain function, may have played a crucial role in human ...

New research has shown that modern humans descend from not one but two separate ancient human ancestral lineages.

"Our history is far richer and more complex than we imagined," said human evolutionary geneticist Aylwyn Scally.

This apportionment of variation has been confirmed by recent studies using more sensitive DNA markers ... (Figure 2). This model accepts an African origin of the human species, but it argues ...

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.

It is also frequently used for other benefits, like wildlife studies, paternity testing, body identification, and in studies pertaining to human dispersion.While most aspects of DNA are identical ...

How does DNA recombination work? It occurs frequently in many different cell types, and it has important implications for genomic integrity, evolution, and human disease. In the alternate pathway ...

For decades, the predominant view of human evolution held that Homo sapiens emerged in Africa between 200,000 and 300,000 ...

A new study reveals that a mysterious human ancestors contributed 20% of modern human genes, potentially enhancing brain ...
