Scientists have a new clue in the long quest to decipher what makes us uniquely human: tiny changes in brain chemistry that set us apart from our closest hominin cousins. In a study published Monday ...
An ad hoc committee appointed by the National Academies to explore heritable genetic modifications of food animals. This committee will address methods for heritable genetic modifications and identify ...
A recent genetic analysis indicates that interactions between humans and Neanderthals, who coexisted tens of thousands of years ago, were more likely to involve female humans mating with male ...
Scientists have uncovered a surprising new picture of human origins that challenges the long-held idea of a single ancestral population in Africa. By analyzing genetic data from diverse modern African ...
Several genetic variants associated with social behavior in honey bees are located within genes that have previously been linked to social behavior in humans, Ian Traniello at the University of ...
In 2001 scientists studying human language made a breakthrough: by looking at the DNA of a family with a rare speech disability, they found that a mutation in a single gene called FOXP2 were ...
As they roamed around Europe and Asia between 400,000 and 40,000 years ago, Neanderthals had some hallmarks of humanity, including culture and organized social structures. But did they have language?
