But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical ... the deciphering of the human genetic blueprint.

Scientists say they have recovered the oldest known Homo sapiens DNA from human remains found in Europe, and the information is helping to reveal our species’ shared history with Neanderthals.

The surprise discovery that ancient human DNA can survive in sediments and soil is revolutionising the study of Paleolithic ...

When modern humans first ventured out of Africa, they followed in the footsteps of another human species who dared leave before them. Eventually our bold ancestors caught up with their Neanderthal ...

Scientists have long agreed that early humans mated with Neanderthals, but a pair of recent studies have shed light on when exactly this DNA mixing occurred. Such a revelation could help geneticists ...

Briola and co-authors determined the structure of the human CTF18 clamp loader bound to PCNA to high resolution, analyzed the structure, and tested a new mechanism involving a human-specific Ctf18 ...
