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

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

A new study reveals that a mysterious human ancestors contributed 20% of modern human genes, potentially enhancing brain ...

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 ...

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

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

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.

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

"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.
