New research reveals that ancient interbreeding between humans and Neanderthals shaped our modern human DNA - especially on ...

Humans and Neanderthals cozied up from time to time when they lived in the same areas tens of thousands of years ago. But we<a class="excerpt-read-more" href=" More ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

Genetic research indicates that Neanderthal and Homor Sapiens interbreeding was socially driven to an unexpected degree.

Thin stretches of the human X chromosome look oddly empty when you scan for Neanderthal DNA. Geneticists even have a name for the gaps: “Neanderthal deserts.

The human genome is a rich, complex record of migration, encounters, and inheritance written over thousands of millennia.

This is where memory is essential to identity formation. The self is assembled not from everything that has happened to us, but from what the brain has chosen to preserve and retrieve.

Genomic analysis shows that interbreeding between female Neanderthals and human males was less common than the opposite ...

Geneticists have a better understanding of how prehistoric pairings unfolded, with new research suggesting they were mostly between male Neanderthals and female humans.

By now, it’s firmly established that modern humans and their Neanderthal relatives met and mated as our ancestors expanded ...

Geneticists have found an interesting pattern in how early humans and Neanderthals interbred—and it wasn't balanced.
