A study reveals that prehistoric Japanese Jomon people had minimal Denisovan DNA, suggesting limited contact with Denisovans, while ancient East Asians from China and Mongolia carried more Denisovan genes, helping to map early human migration and interactions across Eurasia.
Recent studies highlight potential environmental triggers for autism, such as pollution exposure during pregnancy, and reveal new insights into interstellar object 3I/ATLAS's tail behavior, a widespread health condition called CKM syndrome affecting nearly 90% of US adults, and the discovery of a prehistoric group in Japan with minimal Denisovan DNA. Additionally, Iceland reports its first mosquito sighting, and a 'wind phone' in Dorset explores grief communication.
A new DNA study using AI tools reveals that Papua New Guineans are closely related to other Asian populations, sharing a common 'Out of Africa' ancestry, but their unique physical features and demographic history suggest a complex evolutionary past with significant Denisovan DNA influence. The exact origins remain unresolved, with possibilities including early migration and distinct demographic events.
A study using AI revealed that Papua New Guineans share genetic ties with other Asian populations, contain significant Denisovan DNA, and exhibit unique physical traits likely shaped by environmental adaptation and population bottlenecks, challenging previous theories about their origins.
A study published in Science reveals that the first Americans inherited genetic material from Neanderthals and Denisovans, particularly a variant of the MUC19 gene that may have enhanced immunity and survival in new environments, with evidence of positive selection and interbreeding involving Neanderthals acting as intermediaries for Denisovan DNA transfer.
A new study reveals that the first Americans carried Denisovan DNA, which may have helped them fight diseases, with evidence showing a complex genetic exchange involving Neanderthals and Denisovans that contributed to their survival and adaptation.
