A groundbreaking study suggests that a genetic incompatibility between Neanderthals and modern humans may have contributed to the extinction of our ancient relatives. Researchers found that different versions of the PIEZO1 gene could have led to miscarriages in hybrid offspring, thus impacting Neanderthal reproductive success.
A groundbreaking study suggests that a singular genetic difference in a protein crucial for DNA synthesis may have given modern humans an evolutionary edge over Neanderthals and Denisovans, impacting behavior and survival.
A groundbreaking study reveals that human intelligence may stem from sudden changes in gene regulation, challenging the notion of gradual evolution. Discover how these genetic shifts distinguish us from our closest relatives.
