Researchers have identified genes linked to tooth size and shape, including one likely inherited from our long-lost cousins.

This year, we learned that our Neanderthal cousins were a lot like us, despite treading their own path that ended in ...

For several millennia, Neanderthals and modern humans interbred shortly after all non-African ancestors moved into Eurasia.

Scientists have long agreed that early humans mated with Neanderthals, but a pair of recent studies have shed light on when exactly this DNA mixing occurred. Such a revelation could help geneticists ...
