Scientists have long debated how modern humans evolved. For decades, most researchers agreed that Homo sapiens came from one ancestral group in Africa, dating back 200,000 to 300,000 years. But new ...
Africa has long been known as the cradle of humanity. Fossils, tools and genetics all point there. Yet the deeper story of how the first modern humans lived, moved and mixed has stayed blurry. Too ...

Neanderthal men may have chosen human women more often, reshaping human history: DNA study suggests
A new Neanderthal DNA study suggests interbreeding between modern humans and Neanderthals favored pairings of female humans with male Neanderthals. This finding challenges traditional evolutionary ...
Not every modern human has the same set of Neanderthal DNA, however; different people will, by chance, have inherited different fragments. But there are also some areas, termed “Neanderthal deserts,” ...
A study shows that interbreeding between the two species occurred primarily in one direction, and the origin of this bias is still unclear ...
