The influence of an unknown population and its impact on intelligence was discovered in our DNA by researchers using a new ...

A novel genetic model suggests that the ancestors of modern humans came from two distinct populations that split and ...

Scientists discovered humans descended from two ancient populations, not one. These groups split 1.5 million years ago.

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 ...

According to the study, our ancestors split from a group 1.5 million years ago and rejoined them 300,000 years ago.

Cambridge University researchers have uncovered evidence that two distinct populations of ancient hominins, separated for ...

Early human evolution may have been more complex than scientists previously thought, with modern humans evolving from two ...

Scientists have uncovered evidence that modern humans emerged from two long-separated ancestral groups, not just one. This ...

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.
