The genetic architecture of and evolutionary constraints on the human pelvic form

Human pelvic evolution following the human-chimpanzee divergence is thought to result in an obstetrical dilemma, a mismatch between large infant brains and narrowed female birth canals, but empirical ...

Scientists Use Ancient DNA to Shed Light on Adaptation of Early Europeans

Leveraging statistical analysis and applying it to ancient DNA revealed new insights into how ancient Europeans adapted to their environments over 7,000 years.
