Mounting evidence from genome studies indicates that, contrary to received wisdom, our species has undergone profound ...

Now researchers are learning that they have also evolved another remarkable genetic adaptation since their ancestors first ...

This gene flow left non-African populations with 1-2% Neanderthal ancestry, contributing beneficial traits like immune resilience and skin pigmentation. The study also identified Neanderthal ...

“Many Neanderthal sequences may have been deleterious to humans and were therefore actively and rapidly selected against by evolution.” “Diversification of humans outside of Africa may have begun ...

The study of ancient DNA has greatly advanced our knowledge of human evolution, including the discovery of gene flow from Neandertals into the common ancestors of modern humans. Neandertals and modern ...

Evolution is a process ... what proportions–this unfolds the quickest in small populations. There’s gene flow, where individuals and populations migrate, bringing their genetic material ...

Giraffes are a beautiful and powerful example of what adaptive evolution can achieve ... we started getting results from our analyses of gene flow between different giraffe lineages, we had ...
