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. Using advanced analysis based ...
When a nuclear disaster empties a landscape of people, nature doesn’t politely wait for instructions. It moves in. After the ...
Millions thrive at high altitudes due to remarkable genetic adaptations. Tibetans, for instance, possess a gene variant allowing efficient oxygen use without dangerously thick blood. Andeans and ...
Researchers at the University of Maine are theorizing that human beings may be in the midst of a major evolutionary shift—driven not by genes, but by culture. "Human evolution seems to be changing ...
Understanding biological relationships is often critical when studying animal populations. Researchers have now developed a transformative approach that identifies stretches of DNA that two ...
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. Using advanced analysis based ...
A novel genetic model suggests that the ancestors of modern humans came from two distinct populations that split and reconnected during our evolutionary history. When you purchase through links on our ...
Jason Munshi-South joined the Drexel faculty in 2024 as the Betz Endowed Chair of Ecology and Professor in the BEES department. Jason’s research program is dedicated to understanding how wildlife ...
Volcanic eruptions on the remote island of Nishinoshima repeatedly wipe the land clean, giving scientists a rare chance to study life’s earliest stages. Researchers traced the genetic origins of an ...
