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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
