A new analysis of DNA from ancient modern humans (Homo sapiens) in Europe and Asia has determined, more precisely than ever, the time period during which Neanderthals interbred with modern humans ...

Lucy, an early human ancestor, could run upright but much slower than modern humans. New simulations show that muscle and ...

Early modern humans were taller and less stocky than Neanderthals, perhaps more suited to endurance running than short bursts of speed. The Homo sapiens man's body proportions were similar to those of ...

The University of Liverpool has led an international team of scientists to take a fresh look at the running capabilities of ...

Neanderthals and modern humans interbred for several millennia, shortly after the ancestors of all non-Africans moved into Eurasia, according to two new studies. Although these Homo sapiens ...

Similarities observed in both modern and archaic human genomes suggest many hallmarks of the Homo sapiens genetic landscape arose before the lineages split. Homo sapiens evolved through a series ...

Ancient DNA [aDNA] from the oldest modern humans found in Europe ... Dr Huang told the South China Morning Post. This growing body of corroborating evidence has been a cause for optimism for ...

For several millennia, Neanderthals and modern humans interbred shortly after all non-African ancestors moved into Eurasia. While these Homo sapiens populations gained an evolutionary edge from ...

Archaeological evidence has shown that our modern human ancestors did not shy away from jumping in bed with other early hominin groups their paths crossed with during windows in evolutionary history.

HEFEI -- Chinese scientists have discovered dozens of human fossils dating back 300,000 years, which are the earliest ones found in East Asia in terms of the evolution process towards Homo sapiens ...
