Forget Blackadder, turnips and the Black Death: medieval England was extremely sophisticated There's a tendency to think of the medieval English living an archaic, primitive, Blackadder sort of life: a lot of knobbly-faced peasants rotating crops, marrying at 12, before succumbing to their first bubons in the armpit at...

From my point of view, “unnatural” spans a range of things. All domesticated breeds are genetically altered.

This model has recently been shaken by the discovery that some modern humans are closer to extinct hominins: the Neandertals and Denisovans.

There are two aspects to this paper: first, it appears to be a solid attempt at inferring the age of mtDNA haplogroup L3.

I am usually skeptical of very tight age estimates, but there appear to be ...
