Learn more about how researchers can take evidence from the past to better shape our idea of what Neanderthals looked like.

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...
