The human genome is a rich, complex record of migration, encounters, and inheritance written over thousands of millennia.

New research reveals that ancient interbreeding between humans and Neanderthals shaped our modern human DNA - especially on the X chromosome.

Geneticists have a better understanding of how prehistoric pairings unfolded, with new research suggesting they were mostly between male Neanderthals and female humans.

A groundbreaking DNA study has unveiled a hidden chapter in human evolution, revealing that all modern humans evolved from two ancient and distinct groups. This research, published in March 2025, ...

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 ...
