Bones From 773,000 Years Ago Capture Human Evolution at a Crossroads In A Nutshell Ancient African fossils dated to around ...

Few genomes have been sequenced from early modern humans, who first arrived in Europe when the region was already inhabited by Neanderthals. An international team has now sequenced the oldest ...

The cave, known as Grotte à Hominidés, contains assemblages of jawbones, teeth, and vertebrae dating back to 773,000 years ...

The research provides insights into the demographics of early modern humans. Scientists have pinpointed a time frame in which Neanderthals began "mixing" with modern humans, based on the DNA of ...

Neanderthal genes make up 1-2% of the genomes of non-Africans. Scientists analyzed the lengths of regions of Neanderthal DNA in 58 ancient Eurasian genomes of early modern humans and determined that ...

New study of 7-million-year-old fossils from Chad proves Sahelanthropus tchadensis walked upright while still climbing trees.

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 ...

Humans once had a way smaller footprint. "Homo Sapiens, modern humans, evolved in Africa," says Arev Sümer, a paleogenetics PhD student at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology ...
