We are accustomed to regular announcements of new hominin fossils. There are now some
6000 hominin fossils, and up to 31 species. However, where are the announcements of …

Knowledge on the population history of endangered species is critical for conservation, but
whole-genome data on chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) is geographically sparse. Here, we …

Genomic and ancient DNA data have revolutionized palaeoanthropology and our vision of
human evolution, with indisputable landmarks like the sequencing of Neanderthal and …

How populations adapt to their environment is a fundamental question in biology. Yet, we
know surprisingly little about this process, especially for endangered species, such as …

Although cumulative culture is a hallmark of hominin evolution, its origins can be traced back
to our common ancestor with chimpanzees. Here, we investigated the evolutionary origins of …

Admixture appears increasingly ubiquitous in the evolutionary history of various taxa,
including humans. Such gene flow likely also occurred among our closest living relatives …

Here we show that sexual signaling affects patterns of female spatial association differently
in chimpanzees and bonobos, indicating its relevance in sha** the respective social …

Noninvasive samples as a source of DNA are gaining interest in genomic studies of
endangered species. However, their complex nature and low endogenous DNA content …

Quantifying and characterizing the pattern of trait covariances is crucial for understanding
how population-level patterns of integration might constrain or facilitate craniofacial …

Paleoclimate reconstructions have enhanced our understanding of how past climates have
shaped present‐day biodiversity. We hypothesize that the geographic extent of Pleistocene …
