Scientists have uncovered a surprising new picture of human origins that challenges the long-held idea of a single ancestral ...

Researchers at the University of Oregon have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can read genetic code the way ...

This volume is based on the National Academy of Sciences' Colloquium on the Tempo and Mode of Evolution. The articles appearing in these pages were contributed by speakers at the colloquium and have ...

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. Using advanced analysis based ...

Researchers at the University of Maine are theorizing that human beings may be in the midst of a major evolutionary shift—driven not by genes, but by culture. "Human evolution seems to be changing ...

University of Oregon researchers have developed an AI tool, based on modified GPT-2 architecture, that can reconstruct genetic ancestry in minutes by reading DNA mutation patterns. Matching the ...

Charles Darwin's theory of evolution generated scientific debate and discussion not only in Darwin's own time, but for decades afterward. In the latter part of the nineteenth century and the until the ...

The research, part of the Indigenous American Genomic Diversity Project, combined newly sequenced genomes with existing databases to analyze a total of 199 contemporary Indigenous individuals from 53 ...

Researchers at the University of Oregon have developed the first language model for population genetics, capable of tracing gene pairs back to their last common ancestor in minutes. Trained on ...
