Temporal genomic data hold great potential for studying evolutionary processes such as
speciation. However, sampling across speciation events would, in many cases, require …

As modern humans migrated out of Africa, they encountered many new environmental
conditions, including greater temperature extremes, different pathogens and higher altitudes. …

It has been proposed that two amino acid substitutions in the transcription factor FOXP2 have
been positively selected during human evolution due to effects on aspects of speech and …

The archaeological documentation of the development of sedentary farming societies in
Anatolia is not yet mirrored by a genetic understanding of the human populations involved, in …

What evolutionary events led to the emergence of human cognition? Although the genetic
differences separating modern humans from both non-human primates (for example, …

Polar bears are uniquely adapted to life in the High Arctic and have undergone drastic
physiological changes in response to Arctic climates and a hyperlipid diet of primarily marine …

Changes in gene expression levels determine differentiation of tissues involved in development
and are associated with functional decline in aging. Although development is tightly …

Over the course of ontogenesis, the human brain and human cognitive abilities develop in
parallel, resulting in a phenotype strikingly distinct from that of other primates. Here, we used …

The social organization of the first fully sedentary societies that emerged during the Neolithic
period in Southwest Asia remains enigmatic, 1 mainly because material culture studies …

In development, timing is of the utmost importance, and the timing of developmental processes
often changes as organisms evolve. In human evolution, developmental retardation, or …
