Description
How did the human species form? The long-held view is that isolation — such as by a river or another barrier — was an early step in our evolution. But genomics is now telling a very different story. David Reich explains how decoding DNA from chimpanzees and gorillas is revealing a close and complex co-existence between our ancestors and those of other primates.
