Analyses of more than 300 ancient human genomes show that Hepatitis B virus has infected humans for at least 4,500 years and has much older origins than modern viral genomes would suggest.

Researchers find impressions left by a human some 13,000 years ago in British Columbia.

Researchers find that modern human populations carry distinct sets of genes from the extinct hominin species.

A new study counters the popular theory that after Mount Toba blew its top 74,000 years ago, humans almost went extinct.

The animal pictures and hand stencils were made in caves in Spain thousands of years before Homo sapiens arrived in Europe.

“Cheddar Man” had dark hair and blue eyes, a sequencing analysis suggests.

The genome of an infant who lived in Alaska thousands of years ago represents a previously unknown group of humans called Ancient Beringians, who share a common lineage with other Native Americans. 

In animal fossils dating back millions of years, researchers detect traces of a glycan once synthesized by ancestral human lineages. 

New research provides evidence that the ancient hominin species might not be so ancient after all.
