Origins Science Scholars Series—“Tracing Evolution: Where Modern Human Variation Comes from and Why”
The Origins Science Scholars Series will continue with a presentation by Cynthia Beall, Distinguished University Professor and the Sarah Idell Pyle Professor of Anthropology, titled “Tracing Evolution ...
Modern humans are evolutionary survivors, thriving generation after generation while our ancient relatives died out. Now, new research into our brain chemistry suggests that an enzyme unique to Homo ...
Modern humans and Neanderthals shared a common ancestor, lived side by side in parts of Eurasia, and even had children together, yet their faces ended up strikingly different. The contrast between our ...

140,000-year-old child's skull may have been part modern human, part Neanderthal — but not everyone is convinced
One of the earliest known human burials — that of a young child — could have been a cross between modern humans and Neanderthals, a new study suggests. Researchers analyzed a skull that was found at a ...
The fossil and genetic evidence agree that modern humans originated in Africa. The most genetically diverse human populations—the groups that have had the longest time to pick up novel mutations—live ...
For centuries, we’ve imagined Neanderthals as distant cousins — a separate species that vanished long ago. But thanks to AI-powered genetic research, scientists have revealed a far more entangled ...
Dental anthropology and morphology -- Description and classification of permanent crown and root traits -- Biological considerations : ontogeny, asymmetry, sex dimorphism, and inter-trait association ...
John Gowlett receives funding from PAST Africa and Wenner-Gren Foundation, and his work has previously been supported by The Leverhulme Trust. He is associated with a new series of podcasts on human ...
Around 2% of modern humans carry Neanderthal DNA, meaning we know early humans got super intimate with our now-extinct relatives. According to new research, when Neanderthals and humans did hit it off ...
