Ancient DNA shows that human evolution never slowed down — it sped up after farming
Learn more about new research that analyzed 16,000 ancient genomes and discovered that natural selection hasn’t slowed down.
Ancient DNA reveals how farming accelerated human evolution, driving genetic changes over the past 10,000 years.
A new study finds natural selection has reshaped hundreds of human genes in the past 10,000 years, driven by farming, disease ...

New CRISPR variant cuts tumor DNA while sparing healthy cells
Most gene-editing tools are blind to context. Point them at a DNA sequence and they cut, whether that sequence sits inside a ...
Genes get passed down from parents, determining traits such as eye color and height as well as risk for certain diseases. And while cancer-linked genes such as BRCA1 and TP53 are relatively familiar, ...
A team of researchers from the University of Cambridge have discovered a hidden 'switch' in our DNA that rapidly accelerate ...
Cancer cells excel at evading detection, but subtle chemical differences set them apart from healthy cells. Now, a team of ...
A new study suggests that certain genetic differences, passed down from ancient human ancestors, and exposure to common present-day chemicals could explain why some women are more likely to develop ...
