We've long assumed our species evolved from a tidy, single stream of ancestors. But life on Earth is never quite so ...

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.

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

Humans' unique language capacity was present at least 135,000 years ago, according to a survey of genomic evidence. As such, language might have entered social use 100,000 years ago.

A recent report highlighted a looming demographic crisis in the United States, as annual deaths are expected to exceed annual ...

Using a new method of modeling genetic data, researchers identified a split in human ancestry dating back 1.5 million years. The two populations later reconnected. The mystery population (Population B ...

The discovery is particularly important as it places the arrival of the first populations in Europe before the 'Homo ...

Researchers in Spain have discovered pieces of a fossilized face belonging to an ancient human ancestor. The fragments cannot ...

Fossilized bone fragments unearthed in a cave in northern Spain in 2022 have revealed a previously unknown human population that lived more than 1.1 million years ago, according to new research.
