  TORONTO -- New research sheds light on just how far Leonardo da Vinci’s bloodline extends, from 1331 continuing through to 14 descendants still living today. Alessandro Vezzosi and Agnese Sabato’s decade-long study was published in Human Evolution documenting the continuous male line of the da Vinci family. Starting with Michele in 1331, to Leonardo, sixth generation in 1452, up to today, 21 generations later. The work spans 690 years and fills gaps in previous knowledge and corrects...

My initial disbelief turned to pride Gianni Vinci, 62, who is an artist, joked: "Maybe for some of my work Leonardo turned in his grave, but for the rest I hope he is proud." He said he was "amazed" to learn he was genetically linked to the Renaissance master. "My initial disbelief then turned to pride." Scientists now want to take DNA samples from the descendants, which they hope will shed light on the Renaissance polymath’s extraordinary artistic prowess, his scientific intuition and hi...

PZ Myers has a new post condemning Discovery Institute ideologue David Klinghoffers recent post connecting Darwin to the eugenic policies of Hitler. He trots out some of the same points that have been refuted time and again. Darwin elaborated a picture of how the world works, how creatures war with each other for survival thus selecting out the fittest specimens and advancing the species. In this portrait of animal life, man is no exception. Any animal that strives to preserve the weak, as man...

06:28 Advertisement "Because the Harbin fossil is so well preserved and informative, it is one of the most important finds so far for the last 500,000 years of human evolution," Chris Stringer, an anthropologist at the Natural History Museum in London who co-authored the studies, told Insider. Stringers team nicknamed this new hominin species "Dragon Man," after the province where it was found: Heilongjiang, which translates to "dragon river."

Strangely archaic 130,000-year-old hominin may be last gasp of an ancient group that spawned the Neanderthals, and not in Europe but in the Middle East, archaeologists posit

Seven million years ago the first humanlike creatures emerged. they became progressively more developed until two million years ago our ancient ancestor homo erectus emerged. that led to our close cousins the neanderthals and us, and we coexisted a few hundred thousand years ago. dragon man, it is claimed, is a new species that lived alongside us. not only that, it is more closely related to us. i have been studying human evolution for the last 50 years or so and this for me is one of the most s...

Into the new human family tree? well, 7 million years ago, the first humanlike creatures emerged. they became progressively more developed, until 2 million years ago, ourancientancestor homo erectus emerged. that led to our close cousins, the neanderthals and us, and we coexisted a few hundred thousand years ago. dragon man, it�*s claimed, is a new species that lived alongside us. not only that, it�*s more closely related to us. one of britain�*s leading experts in the field is part of the...

Homo erectus emerged. that led to our close cousins, the neanderthals and us, and we coexisted a few hundred thousand years ago. dragon man, its claimed, is a new species that lived alongside us. not only that, its more closely related to us. one of britains leading experts in the field is part of the research team. after examining this replica made from resin, he believes that the dragon man is a hugely important discovery. ive been studying human evolution for the last 50 years or so and this,...
