It has been suggested that red hair could have originated in Paleolithic Europe, especially since Neanderthal also had red hair. The only Neanderthal specimen tested so far (from Croatia) did not carry the same MC1R mutation responsible for red hair in modern humans (the mutation in question in...
The second important environmental heat input is from direct and indirect solar radiation. Solar radiation can be broken up into long-wave and short-wave radiation. Long-wave radiation is absorbed equally regardless of skin or hair colour, while short-wave radiation absorption depends on the colour...
Spencer Wells22 & The Genographic Consortium23 The search for a method that utilizes biological information to predict humans' place of origin has occupied scientists for millennia. Over the past four decades, scientists have employed genetic data in an effort to achieve this goal but with limited...
The dog genome differs from the majority of other mammals in that it lacks an active copy of PRDM9, which suggests that formation of meiotic DSBs is controlled differently in dogs [26]. A fine scale analysis of recombination rate variation in the dog genome indicated that, like in humans, ...
The appearance of the domestic dog (Canis familiaris) in the archaeological record was followed relatively soon afterwards by crop and livestock domestication, which allowed humans to substantially augment the food they obtained from hunting and gathering. Consequently, during the Neolithic Transition—the...
You might be familiar with several of these dog breeds from Australia, but there may be a few on this list you’ve never heard of before...
(Mozota Holgueras2012). In addition, an age corresponding to the regional Middle Paleolithic has been attributed to a series of red dots in El Castillo, and a ideogram in La Pasiega (Pike et al.2012; Hoffmann et al.2018a), but there has been serious criticism of the reliability of the...
As in humans, much phenotypic variation is likely to be attributable to CNVs, which makes investigating them important for uncovering the genetic basis of phenotypic variation in dogs. There is a possibility that the genomic features that promote CNV formation in dogs differ from other mammals. ...

They originated from European mythologies which describe them with blonde hair and blue eyes, with features almost similar to humans but with more delicate features and magical powers. Leprechauns –These are Irish fairies that appear as super small, aged men dressed in green or red. They are ...
