Engravings and other evidence suggest ancient humans attended religious ceremonies in the cave as early as 37,000 years ago.

Their legacy lives on in the genomes of most people on Earth, thanks to interbreeding between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals. New research is providing the most precise estimate to date of when ...

One study unveiled two of the oldest Homo sapiens genomes so far sequenced, which were more than 42,000 years old, and revealed the individuals likely had dark skin, dark hair and brown eyes.

The findings help pin down dates for out-of-Africa migration and the dispersal of Homo sapiens. A new analysis of DNA from ancient modern humans (Homo sapiens) in Europe and Asia has determined ...
