A lost chapter in human evolution has been revealed after an analysis of modern DNA found that we come from not one but two ancestral populations—ones that drifted apart and later reconnected long ...
A new paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution reports that Italian bears living in areas with many villages evolved and ...
The Indigenous peoples of the Bolivian highlands are survivors. For thousands of years they have lived at altitudes of more than two miles, where oxygen is about 35 percent lower than at sea level.
Historic population bottlenecks left cheetahs genetically similar, increasing disease risk and threatening long-term survival ...
