Denisovans, humans and neanderthals last shared a common ancestor about 1 million years ago. Earlier research found lingering Denisovan traces in genomes of people from Oceania . Now they’ve ...

An analysis of genomes from some of the earliest modern humans to live in Europe reveals their ancestors interbred with Neanderthals in one period between 43,000 and 50,000 years ago.

But "human unique is a really hard thing to say because we don't know that much in comparison about all the other species," added Karlsson, who directs the Vertebrate Genomics Group at the Broad ...

Genetic Consequences and Evolutionary Surprises. This ancient bottleneck dramatically impacted human genetics. Around 66% of genetic diversity was lost, profoundly reshaping our gene pool.
