Long before humans spread across the globe, a deadly disease may have quietly shaped where our ancestors lived—and even how we evolved. New research reveals that malaria didn’t just threaten early ...

Researchers found that ancient hominids—including early humans—were exposed to lead throughout childhood, leaving chemical traces in fossil teeth. Experiments suggest this exposure may have driven ...

A massive new study suggests natural selection has shaped human evolution in West Eurasia far more strongly and far more recently than scientists once believed. By tracking genetic changes across more ...

Data from more than 15,000 ancient people reveal natural selection of hundreds of genes linked to immunity, skin tone, behaviour and other traits. The biggest ever study of ancient human DNA shows ...

Some researchers hold that evolution hasn’t much altered humans in the past 10,000 years. A new analysis of ancient DNA indicates that natural selection continued to shape hundreds of genes. By Carl ...

Applying new analytic methods to nearly 16,000 ancient genomes reveals natural selection has acted on hundreds, not dozens, of genes in West Eurasia over the last 10,000 years. More than half of the ...

Abstract: Sparsely single-point human parsing aims at segmenting the human body into fine-grained categories via weak point-level labels (e.g., point-level, scribble-level, or image-level, etc). The ...
