It was this “admixture event” that led to an evolutionary process that sparked the birth of modern humankind. Other recent discoveries are likewise shaking up notions held about evolution.

Two 7,000-year-old mummies from the Takarkori rock shelter in the Sahara have been found to be from a group with a previously unknown ancestry. DNA analysis of the mummies, which are the remains ...

Remnants of Neanderthal DNA in modern genomes have long prompted questions about interspecies mating. Two studies shed light on when that occurred — and when ancient humans left Africa.

The Neanderthal DNA that many people carry today, the researchers argue, is a legacy from just 100 or 200 Neanderthals. “The effective population size of modern humans outside Africa was about ...
