- Landmark ancient-genome study shows surprise acceleration of human evolution
A landmark ancient-genome study reveals an unexpected acceleration in human evolution, with ancient DNA analysis showing pervasive directional selection across West Eurasia. The research highlights significant genetic changes over time, challenging previous assumptions about the pace of human evolutionary development.
- Giant cancer study reveals effectiveness of ‘off label’ treatments
A large-scale cancer study highlights the potential of 'off-label' treatments guided by genomics to expand therapy options. Concurrently, an ancient-genome study identifies natural selection impacts on hundreds of human genes, offering insights into evolutionary biology.
- Landmark ancient-genome study shows surprise acceleration of human evolution
A landmark ancient-genome study published in Nature reveals that natural selection accelerated human evolution by shaping genes related to immunity, skin tone, behavior, and other traits. The research analyzed genetic data from over 15,000 ancient individuals, providing insights into rapid evolutionary changes.
