Scientists have identified at least three events where genes from distinct Denisovan populations mixed with human DNA, ...

New research reveals that gene flow from Neanderthals has left a lasting imprint on modern human genomes. Non-African ...

But many questions remain that these papers don’t address. It’s still unclear how subsequent human interbreeding with archaic human species may have contributed to variation in the amount of ...

Analysis of early modern human genomes suggests that Neanderthal DNA was introduced to populations in Europe around 43,500 to ...

Human DNA recovered from remains found in Europe is revealing our species’ shared history with Neanderthals. The trove is the ...

Most of us have Neanderthal ancestors, and now scientists how revealed important details about how their DNA shape us today.

Meanwhile, Sümer and her team were also trying to clock when early humans and Neanderthals interbred. They worked with rare ...

Many people have a tiny slice of Neanderthal DNA, evidence of interbreeding between the species and ancient human ancestors. Two new studies suggest that interbreeding occurred during a limited ...

They also indicate that any modern human remains found outside Africa that are older than 50,000 years could not have been part of the common non-African population that interbred with Neanderthals.' ...

Scientists have long agreed that early humans mated with Neanderthals, but a pair of recent studies have shed light on when exactly this DNA mixing occurred. Such a revelation could help ...

New research refines the timeline of interbreeding between modern humans and Neanderthals, showing it began about 50,500 ...

Meanwhile, Sümer and her team were also trying to clock when early humans and Neanderthals interbred. They worked with rare well-preserved early human remains from Germany and the Czech Republic ...
