Scientists have revealed a hidden chapter in human evolution, showing our origins trace back to the interbreeding of two distinct species about 300,000 years ago. By analysing modern human DNA, ...

Early human evolution may have been more complex than scientists previously thought, with modern humans evolving from two ancestral lineages.

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

Beyond human ancestry, the researchers say their method could help to transform how scientists study the evolution of other species, like bats, dolphins, chimps and gorillas. 'Interbreeding and ...

director of Spain's National Research Center on Human Evolution, told the AFP. But the similarities weren't strong enough for the scientists to confirm that Pink was a member of that species.
