Over three decades ago, Researchers in Yunnan, China discovered the site from a quarry called Maludong where they unearthed a lot of bones including human bones. The fossils were carbon dated to the Late Pleistocene about 14,000 years ago, approaching to the period of time when modern human migrating to the New World from Asia.
From the cave, researchers recovered a hominin skull cap that l... more |

Scientists have unveiled a Late Pleistocene human genome from southwest China. Their findings were published online in the journal Current Biology on Thursday night.
The scientists conducted the genome sequencing of the 14,000-year-old human remains of the "Mengzi Ren (MZR)," which were unearthed in 1989 in a cave in Mengzi, Yunnan Province. More than 30 human fossils, as well as fossils of... more |

| There is a continuum spectrum of organizational complexity in extant animal societies, among which the human societies and those established by social insects (termites, wasps, bees and ants) are of great prominence. Social insects are fundamentally different from humans in the sense, their societies are composed of different castes whose morphologies are differentiated through development and ... more |

Vertebrate evolution was accompanied by two rounds of whole genome duplication followed by functional divergence in terms of regulatory circuits and gene expression patterns. As a basal and slow-evolving chordate species, amphioxus is an ideal paradigm for exploring the origin and evolution of vertebrates.
A research group, led by developmental biologist Prof. MAO Bingyu from the Kunming In... more |
