Two studies came to a similar conclusion, highlighting a single, sustained event of mixing DNA. The findings could impact our ...

New research reveals that gene flow from Neanderthals has left a lasting imprint on modern human genomes. Non-African ...

This year, we learned that our Neanderthal cousins were a lot like us, despite treading their own path that ended in ...

Long ago, early humans shared the earth with several archaic human species, including Neanderthals and Denisovans. These species, were bipedal and close relatives of modern humans. They lived in ...

Human DNA recovered from remains found in Europe is revealing our species’ shared history with Neanderthals. The trove is the ...

After humans first migrated out of Africa about 60,000 years ago, we started having sex with Neanderthals – a now extinct archaic but closely-related species. Now, scientists claim to have ...

Scientists analyzed the lengths of regions of Neanderthal DNA in 58 ancient Eurasian genomes of early modern humans and determined that the introgressed genes result from interbreeding between ...

Many people have a tiny slice of Neanderthal DNA, evidence of interbreeding between the species and ancient human ancestors. Two new studies suggest that interbreeding occurred during a limited ...

revealing that modern humans and Neanderthals had babies together for an extended period, peaking 47,000 years ago — leaving genetic fingerprints in modern-day people. Scientists have long known ...

"Our results point to a scenario where Modern and Archaic should be regarded as populations of an otherwise common human ...

Neanderthals and humans likely mixed and mingled during a narrow time frame 45,000 years ago, scientists reported Thursday. Researchers analyzed ancient genes to pinpoint the time period ...

Thanks to new AI developments, we are witnessing an increase in the pace of genomic techniques, but shall we try the AI ...
