Chromatin 3D Structure of Archaic Human Populations and Its Impact on Modern Human Genomes

Most people in Eurasia today carry fragments of DNA inherited from ancient hominins such as Neanderthals and Denisovans. This genetic legacy has influenced traits such as immunity, skin pigmentation, and susceptibility to certain diseases, but the ways in which archaic DNA continues to shape human biology are still not fully understood.

Wisdom Teeth: Refining our understanding of mammalian evolution through dating dental enamel

As the complex mosaic of Quaternary human lineages across and beyond Africa becomes increasingly apparent, an accurate chronology is critical to disentangle the patterns and process, particularly those that link human evolution to palaeoenvironmental and climatic change.
