Between Oct. 1, 2023 and Sept. 30, 2024, Princeton was awarded over $58 million from the NIH. In 2024 alone, grants from the NIH led to efforts such as a Princeton-led group of scientists mapping the ...

During this peak, early humans "encountered Neanderthals, had sex and gave birth to children on a fairly regular basis," said CNN.It is estimated that 1% to 3% of people have DNA that can be ...

Tens of thousands of years ago, modern humans mated with Neanderthals. But exactly how and when that happened, and who those groups of humans were, was less known. New research adds some clues.

That engenders a lot of confidence,” said Joshua Akey, a professor at the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics at Princeton University, who wasn’t part of either research group.

This genetic change is fascinating, says Joshua Akey, a Princeton University genomicist, who was not involved in the new studies, because it points to places on the human genome where Neandertal ...

“We know much less about how these encounters impacted the genomes of Neanderthals,” Joshua Akey, a population geneticist at Princeton University and senior author of the study, tells Live ...

The scientists discovered that the percentage of Homo sapiens DNA in the Neanderthal genome may have been as high as 10% more than 200,000 years ago and decreased over time; on average, it was 2.5 ...

Akey said the genetic evidence shows that homo sapiens traveled north in multiple waves, making first contact with Neanderthals around 200,000 to 250,000 years ago, then again around 100,000 to ...
