Early human evolution may have been more complex than scientists previously thought, with modern humans evolving from two ...

Learn about the new proposal for the origins of modern humans, suggesting that our species is a genetic combination of two ...

Scientists discovered humans descended from two ancient populations, not one. These groups split 1.5 million years ago.

"Our history is far richer and more complex than we imagined," said human evolutionary geneticist Aylwyn Scally.

Cambridge University researchers have uncovered evidence that two distinct populations of ancient hominins, separated for ...

Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe.

Studies have suggested that genes under strong sexual selection tend to evolve rapidly, particularly those associated with ...

Researchers used mathematical models to show wolves could have turned into dogs by scavenging near human settlements over 15,000 years.

One criticism is that natural selection may not be able to work quickly enough to turn wild wolves into domestic dogs over thousands of years — without selective breeding by humans to speed the ...
