Chimpanzees share more than 98% of human DNA, and decades of field research across Africa show their societies can be intensely violent. Long-term studies at sites like Gombe and Kibale document ...

Gen-Z is less involved in romantic activities than previous generations. Anxiety undermines the development of relationships. Online daters face too many choices and not enough (perceived) good ones.

For years, geneticists have wrestled with a curious absence: many modern people carry Neanderthal DNA, yet large stretches of the human X chromosome are almost empty of it. A new study argues that ...

New research reveals that ancient interbreeding between humans and Neanderthals shaped our modern human DNA - especially on the X chromosome.

A new study sheds light on the illuminating, sometimes counterintuitive dynamics of mating and how species survive.

Humans don’t have a defined mating season like deer or wolves. Here’s how evolution blended biology, culture and social life into year-round intimacy.

A new study found that when Neanderthals and early humans interbred — a known phenomenon between the two species — most pairings appear to have involved Neanderthal males and human females. This may ...

The list by World Atlas of the most dangerous animals in New Jersey includes coyotes, bears, bobcats and some you might not expect.

Thin stretches of the human X chromosome look oddly empty when you scan for Neanderthal DNA. Geneticists even have a name for the gaps: “Neanderthal deserts.

DNA evidence suggests homo sapiens women more often paired with Neanderthal men, helping explain why Neanderthal genes are rare.
