A new study reveals how AI-driven deep learning models can decode the genetic regulatory switches that define brain cell ...

Two fossils named Ardi and Lucy provide evidence for human evolution. Both were found in Africa. Ardi is a female human-like fossilised skeleton that dates from 4.4 million years ago. Ardi's bones ...

A GROUNDBREAKING study has revealed how the human immune system evolves across the lifespan, uncovering age-specific changes ...

For the past 150 years, scientists and laypeople alike have accepted a “savanna” scenario of human evolution. The theory, primarily based on fossil evidence, suggests that because our ancestral ape ...

In particular, it explains that humans have one fewer chromosome pair in their cells than apes, due to a mutation found in chromosome number 2 that caused two chromosomes to fuse into one.

In a new study published in Science, a Belgian research team explores how genetic switches controlling gene activity define ...

The evolutionary changes underlying these features were significant in allowing the evolution ... One of these SNPs stood out ...
