Two unknown human ancestors still live in our DNA

Modern genomes preserve traces of ancient relatives that mixed with human ancestors in Africa and Eurasia.
For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as "junk" and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study published in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show ...
Combining archaeological evidence with ancient DNA and data on past climates shows us how long and winding the story of human evolution is, stretching back millions of years to when the first primates ...
Scientists have identified a 442-letter DNA sequence that may have contributed to human brain evolution. The sequence appears to influence neuron growth and the balance of different brain cell types.
DNA and a Creator claim explained: a chemist argues the molecule proves design, but RNA World research offers testable natural steps that challenge that conclusion.
UC Berkeley researchers have created a new genomic language model, called GPN-Star, that excels at spotting genetic variants that impact human health. More than two decades after scientists first ...
