Researchers around the world are studying how the human brain achieves its extraordinary complexity. A team at the Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim and the German Primate Center—Leibniz ...

Weizmann Institute study finds genetics may account for about 50 percent of human lifespan, more than double previous estimates.

A recent study published in the American Journal of Human Biology suggests that a genetic preference for immediate rewards is linked to less education and earlier parenthood. This provides evidence ...

Thin stretches of the human X chromosome look oddly empty when you scan for Neanderthal DNA. Geneticists even have a name for the gaps: “Neanderthal deserts.

The human genome is a rich, complex record of migration, encounters, and inheritance written over thousands of millennia. Genomic research by members of Sarah Tishkoff's lab at the University of ...
