Ancient DNA research suggests that our non-African ancestors mixed with Neandertals about 50,000 years ago, resulting in one ...

Two recent studies suggest that the gene flow (as the young people call it these days) between Neanderthals and our species ...

Learn how scientists examined DNA to find out the duration of Neanderthal-human interbreeding and track down the Neanderthal ...

A new analysis of DNA from ancient modern humans (Homo sapiens) in Europe and Asia has determined, more precisely than ever, ...

The oldest genomes ever recovered from modern humans have helped pin down when and how the momentous mingling of two hominins ...

The longer duration of gene flow may help explain, for example, why East Asians have about 20% more Neanderthal genes than Europeans and West Asians. If modern humans moved eastward about 47,000 years ...

Neanderthals went extinct roughly 39,000 years ago, but in some sense these close cousins of our species are not gone. Their ...

A new Intercontinental Exchange rule restricting the delivery of genetically modified cane sugar could restrict the flow of ...

The Neanderthal DNA found in modern human genomes has long raised questions about ancient interbreeding. New studies offer a ...

An analysis of genomes from some of the earliest modern humans to live in Europe reveals their ancestors interbred with ...

Ancient genomes reveal a narrow time window for Neanderthal and human interbreeding, raising new questions about their shared ...
