Understanding human evolution often involves looking closely at our DNA. Yet obtaining ancient DNA from fossils older than 300,000 years—especially from Africa—is incredibly challenging.

However, the adaptive value, mechanistic diversity, and evolution of epigenome-targeted DNA repair systems across the tree of life remain unresolved ... we queried for the PWWP domain of the human ...

Primates have evolved over 65 million years, from early ancestors to over 300 species today—including us. This is the incredible story of our ancient origins. Senate Democratic leader Jason ...
