The human genome is a rich, complex record of migration, encounters, and inheritance written over thousands of millennia. Genomic research by members of Sarah Tishkoff's lab at the University of ...

Ancient linkups may have happened more frequently between female humans and male Neanderthals, according to an new genetic ...

Most people alive today carry fragments of Neanderthal DNA in their genome. Now scientists are gaining a more intimate ...

Interbreeding between Neandertals and ancient anatomically modern humans primarily occurred between male Neandertals and female humans, a new study suggests ...

Since 2010, scientists have known that Neanderthals and our ancestors had offspring together, and those hybrid babies passed down their genes to many present-day people. But the idea of “archaic ...

When ancient humans interbred, new research shows that the pairings were predominantly male Neanderthals and female Homo sapiens.

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

A preference for pairings between male Neanderthals and female Homo sapiens may answer the question of why there are "Neanderthal deserts" in human chromosomes.

Geneticists have found an interesting pattern in how early humans and Neanderthals interbred—and it wasn't balanced.

The team calculated that the mosquitos likely developed their “ anthropophily ”—their taste for human blood—at a point some 2 ...

They open up the possibility of an evolutionary link with the oldest known Homo sapiens fossils – those from Jebel Irhoud in Morocco, dated to around 315,000 years ago. These discoveries help clarify ...

Stone tools found in Israel are at least 1.9 million years old, showing humans left Africa earlier than scientists once believed.
