Early human evolution may have been more complex than scientists previously thought, with modern humans evolving from two ...

Scientists have uncovered evidence that modern humans emerged from two long-separated ancestral groups, not just one. This ...

A new study reveals that a mysterious human ancestors contributed 20% of modern human genes, potentially enhancing brain ...

New research has shown that modern humans descend from not one but two separate ancient human ancestral lineages.

Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe.

Utilizing sophisticated analyses grounded in complete genome sequences, researchers at the University of Cambridge have ...

"Our history is far richer and more complex than we imagined," said human evolutionary geneticist Aylwyn Scally.

The team's method relied on analyzing modern human DNA, rather than extracting genetic material from ancient bones, and enabled them to infer the presence of ancestral populations that may have ...
