The genomes of two women who lived 7,000 years ago in the Sahara when it was a green savannah reveal a remarkably isolated ...

An international team led by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, has ...

thereby recreating the ancestral genome (Figure 3). In the near future, with the availability of additional vertebrate genomes (sequencing of the dog, marsupial, chicken, medaka, zebrafish ...

Learn about the new proposal for the origins of modern humans, suggesting that our species is a genetic combination of two ancestral populations.

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

Instead, modern humans can link their heritage back to at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart over a million years ago before reconnecting just 300,000 years ago, according to a new ...

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.

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

They tested the algorithm using simulated data and applied it to real human genetic data from the 1000 Genomes Project. While the researchers were able to identify these two ancestral populations ...

"For a long time, it has been assumed that we evolved from a single continuous ancestral lineage ... was collected as part of the so-called 1000 Genomes Project, which sequenced the DNA of ...

In the new study, scientists compared thousands of genomes sampled from modern humans, including those with East Asian, European or African ancestry. The data came from individuals in a range of ...
