A groundbreaking discovery reveals Homo sapiens descended from two ancestral groups, not one. This complex origin story ...

Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe.

Humans' unique language capacity was present at least 135,000 years ago, according to a survey of genomic evidence. As such, language might have entered social use 100,000 years ago.

New genetic research suggests that humans first developed language around 135,000 years ago when populations began ...

Cambridge University researchers have uncovered evidence that two distinct populations of ancient hominins, separated for ...

(that’s us) did not descend from a neat, single lineage. Instead, modern humans can link their heritage back to at least two ...

"Our history is far richer and more complex than we imagined," said human evolutionary geneticist Aylwyn Scally.

A team from the University of Cambridge has found that modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations.

The new review, detailed in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, examines over a dozen genetic studies published in the past 18 years to indicate an initial branching of humans about 135,000 years ago ...

The genetic hardware that gave rise to humanity’s unique language capabilities first emerged at least 135,000 years ago, when all Homo sapiens still lived in one unbroken tribe. As this original group ...

Archaeologists have discovered fossilized facial bones of an ancient human race which lived roughly 1.4 million years ago, ...
