In part 1 of our special series on human ancestry, we tour through our family tree to meet our ancestors and distant cousins, and to find out what made us human along the way. The story of human ...

Visualizing inferred human ancestral lineages over time and space. Each line represents an ancestor-descendant relationship in our inferred genealogy of modern and ancient genomes.

One of the method's applications is to give a more complete sense of human ancestry, says Gideon Bradburd, U-M professor of ecology and evolutionary biology. For example, when you send your DNA off ...

Just as a family tree shows how an individual is related to their parents or siblings, genetic genealogy reveals which genes are shared between two individuals, lead author Anthony Wilder Wohns ...

We also estimated significant numbers of human ancestors in Oceania - specifically Papua New Guinea - by 140,000 years ago," Wohns added. "But this is not firm evidence like a radiocarbon-dated ...

If your ancestry report says that you're 50% Irish, that means you have a lot of second through fourth cousins who currently live in Ireland, says Bradburd. But in reality, your family tree is ...

A New Understanding of the Evolutionary Tree The traditional view of human evolution as a branching tree, with distinct populations evolving in isolation, is increasingly being challenged.

Human DNA recovered from remains found in Europe is revealing our species’ shared history with Neanderthals. The trove is the oldest Homo sapiens DNA ever documented, scientists say.

"It revolutionizes the way we look at human ancestry," Louise Leakey said. "We have found a very flat-faced 3.6 million-year-old hominid which represents something quite different to what we know ...
