DNA from bones and teeth of these early human ancestors is helping scientists understand the interactions between early Homo sapiens and the Neanderthals they encountered after migrating out of Africa ...

Scientists say they have recovered the oldest known Homo sapiens DNA from human remains found ... very process that will now return him to the White House. Indonesia has been admitted as a full ...

Scientists say they have recovered the oldest known Homo sapiens DNA from human remains found in Europe, and the information is helping to reveal our species’ shared history with Neanderthals.

Today, all humans except those with only African heritage bear the marks of this union in their DNA. The study's findings suggest this genetic exchange took place roughly 80 generations before the ...

The oldest DNA ever recovered from modern humans shows they arrived as small groups in Europe more than 45,000 years ago and mixed with Neanderthals - but left no descendants. Published today ...

The gene flow also provides insight on the spread of Neanderthal genes once humans began settling in other areas of the world. Today, this is reflected by a small amount of Neanderthal DNA (1 percent ...

The researchers cataloged the segments of Neanderthal DNA in each person’s genome, then compared them to see where those segments appeared and how that changed over time and distance.

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 ...
