Darwin finches' messy family tree 2015-02-11T05:00:00Z All non-Africans possess a small amount of Neanderthal ancestry, pointing to an interbreeding event just after modern humans left their homeland but before they diversified into different populations. Skull clue to exodus from Africa 2015-01-28T05:00:00Z According to this model, modern humans originated from Africa but then evolved through interbreeding with European Neanderthals. This skull may provide a new link between Neanderthals and modern humans 2015-01-28T05:00:00Z It is no longer news that Neanderthals and modern humans were similar enough to interbreed.

Speed dating Neanderthals wanted 2015-01-15T05:00:00Z The increase in interbreeding took place around that same time as the introduction of a health campaign in Mali, in which officials distributed insecticide-treated nets to its citizens. Treated mosquito nets may have created an insecticide resistant mosquito 2015-01-05T05:00:00Z These findings led scientists to a hypothesis for how these strange species came about: Sometimes individuals from two different species of whiptail lizards interbreed, and their hybrid offspring carry two different sets of chromosomes. The Strange Tale of a New Species of Lizard 2014-12-18T05:00:00Z Could this support recent genetic evidence that modern Homo sapiens and their Neanderthal cousins interbred, perhaps in the Middle East and most likely between 65,000 and 47,000 years ago? Ancient Skull Adds New Insight to Story of Human Evolution 2015-01-28T05:00:00Z Their DNA survives in non-African human genomes, thanks to ancient interbreeding, and two teams this year catalogued humans’ Neanderthal heritage. 365 days: 2014 in science It probably stems from interbreeding in the travelling circus where he began his life.

Altitude gene 'from extinct species' 2014-07-02T04:00:00Z She was also able to identify six smaller subpopulations, which show signs of interbreeding but to a lesser degree. First Major Genetic Study of Elusive South African Dolphin Reveals a Species in Peril 2014-05-09T13:38:21Z Botanists could never ignore hybridization — it occurs between plants too frequently — but interbreeding among animals became the “grossest blunder in sexual preference which we can conceive of,” as one author wrote in 1930. Should You Fear the Pizzly Bear? 2014-08-14T04:00:00Z If we define species boundaries as separating groups of organisms that can’t interbreed, can asexual organisms be thought of as a species?

Scotland's salmon farm dilemma 2012-09-10T23:03:52Z This curious pattern suggests several possible scenarios, including that male Denisovans interbred with female modern humans, or that these unions were genetically incompatible, with natural selection weeding out some of the X chromosomes, Reich says. Genome Brings Ancient Girl to Life 2012-08-30T20:02:00Z Under this definition, western chimpanzees would not be reclassified because all subspecies of chimpanzee can interbreed and produce fertile offspring, even though they are reproductively isolated in the wild.

Tracing the world's common ancestor 2012-08-22T00:10:03Z To me the interbreeding question is not whether there was hybridization but whether there was any hybridization that affected the subsequent evolution of humans. Did Humans and Neanderthals Really Interbreed? 2012-08-15T22:05:41Z The team confirms that the Denisovans interbred with the ancestors of some living humans and found that Denisovans had little genetic diversity, suggesting that their small population waned further as populations of modern humans expanded.

Genome Brings Ancient Girl to Life 2012-08-30T20:02:00Z All argue for an African origin, but an important distinction in these competing theories is whether or not interbreeding - or "hybridisation" - between modern and ancient humans has occurred. Neanderthal breeding idea doubted 2012-08-13T19:43:14Z Sequencing of ancient DNA has shown that Neandertals interbred with early modern humans—often enough that up to 4 percent of the DNA in people outside Africa today comes from Neandertals. Did Modern Humans Not Environmental Catastrophe Extinguish the Neandertals? 2012-07-24T16:45:00.217Z One thing the evidence does suggest, however, is that there may be more interbreeding ahead. Side Effects: Brown Bears and Polar Bears Split Up, but Continued Coupling 2012-07-23T17:15:15Z And, of course, it’s led to a rethinking of our relationship with them; clearly there was viable interbreeding. A Conversation With Chris Stringer: Chris Stringer on the Origins and Rise of Modern Humans 2012-07-16T17:20:00Z "The last time new stock was introduced there was 1983 and so interbreeding is an issue," Mr Kiddy said.

Neanderthal breeding idea doubted 2012-08-13T19:43:14Z But the genetic picture, Lalueza-Fox says, suggests "highly mobile" groups that kept in touch and interbred continent-wide. Ancient Hunter-Gatherers Kept in Touch 2012-06-28T17:00:00Z Members of Congress have voiced their fears about such ‘frankenfish’, and environmental groups are concerned that transgenic animals might escape and interbreed with wild populations. Model pigs face messy path 2012-06-27T17:50:25.413Z Maybe a parsimonious view is that there was a single interbreeding period when modern humans came out of Africa. A Conversation With Chris Stringer: Chris Stringer on the Origins and Rise of Modern Humans 2012-07-16T17:20:00Z Speciation is common in nature when sub-populations of a single kind of life become separated or reproductively isolated, adapting to their own conditions to the extent that they may no longer interbreed. Migration from Earth: Human Evolution and Space Colonization 2012-06-15T20:15:00.223Z Prof David Reich, from Harvard University in Cambridge, US - an exponent of the hybridisation theory - is not convinced that the data represents a powerful argument against interbreeding. Neanderthal breeding idea doubted 2012-08-13T19:43:14Z Then there is the new genetic evidence of modern human-Neanderthal interbreeding, suggesting a closer relationship than had been generally thought. New Dating Puts Cave Art in the Age of Neanderthals 2012-06-14T18:08:51Z And the new analysis certainly seems to support that hypothesis, with no significant signal of interbreeding detected in the DNA of the apes. Bonobo's genetic code laid bare 2012-06-13T19:52:07Z Western Asia becomes a critical area for this possibility of interbreeding. A Conversation With Chris Stringer: Chris Stringer on the Origins and Rise of Modern Humans 2012-07-16T17:20:00Z It may be possible, for instance, to determine more precisely when someone’s ancestors from different populations interbred, says Sarah Tishkoff, a geneticist at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Ancestry testing goes for pinpoint accuracy 2012-06-06T17:20:30.787Z It is a question of knowing which genes sitting on what part of the genome control which traits — because this helps to avoid undesirable knock-on effects of interbreeding for a particular characteristic. You say tomato 2012-05-30T17:50:00.850Z They are close enough to modern humans to have interbred with us. New Dating Puts Cave Art in the Age of Neanderthals 2012-06-14T18:08:51Z "In the last two years it has become clear that there was considerable interbreeding between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals ... about 2% to 4% of the DNA of each individual European is Neanderthal," he said.
