A new study has confirmed that these groups first diverged from each other around 1.5 million years ago and later merged back together 300,000 years ago, initiating a genetic mixing event that ...

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 ...

Like recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO ... I’m just saying it’s genetic.” EPO is what tarnished the legacy of former ...

Using advanced analysis based on full genome sequences, researchers from the University of Cambridge have found evidence that modern humans are the result of a genetic mixing event between two ...

KrulUA/iStock / Getty Images Plus In their study, the researchers analyzed the complete genetic sequences of more than 1000 modern humans, rather than DNA extracted from ancient bones, allowing ...

Indeed, many human subpopulations carry distinct markers, and by tracing these markers through the generations, one can draw a genetic tree on which today's many diverse branches can be followed ...

This can be done through modifying human embryos to correct the genetic issue. "There are more than 10,000 single genetic mutations that collectively affect probably hundreds of millions of people ...
