By analyzing genetic data from 2,000 living humans, three Neanderthals, and one Denisovan, the team was able to map genetic ... offspring of early Neanderthal-modern human matings likely remained ...

This finding suggests that Homo sapiens had a taste for starch much before the domestication of crops shaped the human diet.

This summer’s paper dated the presence of H. floresiensis back to 700,000 years ago. The team estimated that the individual—an adult—was just 3.28 feet (one meter) tall. The team further suggested ...

These genetic changes emerged soon after the divergence and are believed to underpin key aspects of modern human biology and behavior. Researchers observed that the Altai Neanderthal genome ...

The UC Berkeley/MPI-EVA team also analyzed regions of the modern human genome that contain genes inherited from Neanderthals and some areas that are totally devoid of Neanderthal genes.
