ADSL Enzyme Variation: A Potential Key to Homo Sapiens' Evolutionary Success
A study published in PNAS suggests that a single amino acid change in the enzyme adenylosuccinate lyase (ADSL), unique to Homo sapiens, may have enhanced water-seeking behavior, contributing to our ancestors' survival advantage over Neanderthals and Denisovans approximately 600,000 years ago.

Rapid Human Evolution: Adaptation to Altitude and Arctic Conditions
Two recent studies highlight rapid human evolution: Sherpas adapt quickly to high altitudes through kidney and respiratory functions, while Greenlandic Inuits show genetic adaptations for metabolizing omega-3 fatty acids from their traditional diet.

140,000-Year-Old Skull Rewrites History of Human-Neanderthal Interbreeding
Researchers have found 140,000-year-old evidence of Homo sapiens and Neanderthal interbreeding in a child's skull discovered in Israel's Skhul Cave, predating previous evidence by 100,000 years and suggesting continuous interaction and interbreeding between the two groups.
