A large-scale population genomic study has shed new light on the evolutionary and domestication history of the button ...

Researchers study house sparrow genetics to understand survival, evolution, and how species respond to environmental change.

Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long ...

A novel genetic model suggests that the ancestors of modern humans came from two distinct populations that split and reconnected during our evolutionary history. When you purchase through links on our ...

Understanding biological relationships is often critical when studying animal populations. Researchers have now developed a transformative approach that identifies stretches of DNA that two ...

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. Using advanced analysis based ...

Summary: Researchers found that Italian brown bears living near humans evolved unique genetic and behavioral traits. The ...
