Our ancestors acquired morphological, cognitive and metabolic modifications that enabled
humans to colonize diverse habitats, develop extraordinary technologies and reshape the …

Although the first ancient DNA molecules were extracted more than three decades ago, the
first ancient nuclear genomes could only be characterized after high-throughput sequencing …

More than two hundred papers have reported genome-wide data from ancient humans.
While the raw data for the vast majority are fully publicly available testifying to the …

Our understanding of population history in deep time has been assisted by fitting admixture
graphs (AGs) to data: models that specify the ordering of population splits and mixtures …

The rich diversity of morphology and behavior displayed across primate species provides an
informative context in which to study the impact of genomic diversity on fundamental …

Population size history is essential for studying human evolution. However, ancient
population size history during the Pleistocene is notoriously difficult to unravel. In this study …

Increasing rates of autoimmune and inflammatory disease present a burgeoning threat to
human health. This is compounded by the limited efficacy of available treatments and high …

Neanderthal brains were similar in size to those of modern humans. We sought to
investigate potential differences in neurogenesis during neocortex development. Modern …

A recent genetic association study identified a gene cluster on chromosome 3 as a risk locus
for respiratory failure after infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 …

The behavioral origins of Homo sapiens can be traced back to the first material culture
produced by our species in Africa, the Middle Stone Age (MSA). Beyond this broad …
