As well as discovering the link between HS3ST3A1 and tooth size and shape, the researchers found that a gene associated with tooth shape among East Asians, known as EDAR, has specific effects on the ...

THE important discoveries in the domain of human palaeontology which have been made in recent years, and those, far greater in number, which may be referred to the Neolithic period, have now made ...

Scientists have long agreed that early humans mated with Neanderthals, but a pair of recent studies have shed light on when exactly this DNA mixing occurred. Such a revelation could help ...

For decades, we've thought of our Neanderthal cousins as brutish, primitive beings. Second-class humans driven extinct by their own fallibility and stupidity. But as we are fast learning ...

New research reveals how genes inherited from Neanderthals and critical developmental markers like PITX2 influence tooth size, shedding light on human evolution and genetic diversity. Study ...

It’s still unclear how subsequent human interbreeding with archaic human species may have contributed to variation in the amount of Neanderthal gene content across populations and why some ...

They found Neanderthal genes related to immunity and metabolism that may have helped early humans survive and thrive outside of Africa. We still carry Neanderthals’ legacy in our DNA.

Scientists have known since the first Neanderthal genome was sequenced in 2010 that early humans interbred with Neanderthals, a bombshell revelation that bequeathed a genetic legacy still ...

However, there is still much ... ancestry in people alive today. Other lineages of ancient humans also went extinct around 40,000 years ago and disappeared just like the Neanderthals ultimately ...
