The work demonstrates the power of ancient DNA to illuminate human biology and medicine in addition to history. A massive ...
Why do 90% of humans reach with the same hand? The answer stretches back millions of years and involves fossils, language and genetics we still can’t fully decode.
Scientists analyze 22,000 genomes documenting hundreds of genetic changes due to natural selection over the past 10,000 years ...
Human aging is not what natural selection failed to prevent. It is what happens when selection simply has nothing left to act ...
A landmark study of nearly 16,000 ancient and modern genomes from West Eurasia reveals that human evolution accelerated over ...
A study finds an increase in redheads over 10,000 years due to natural selection, highlighting ongoing human evolution and ...

Some researchers hold that evolution hasn’t much altered humans in the past 10,000 years. A new analysis of ancient DNA ...
Throughout most of human history, evolution progressed slowly. Small genetic changes took thousands of years to permeate populations. Natural selection was intentional, reactive, and gradual. However, ...
The study of human evolution and comparative anatomy bridges palaeontology, biomechanics and evolutionary biology to elucidate the origins of our unique anatomy. Recent analyses have shed new light on ...
