UC Berkeley team identifies two unknown 'ghost' hominin lineages in modern human DNA
→Researchers using a new computational method called TRACE have detected genetic contributions from two previously uncharacterized archaic human lineages in the genomes of living people. One ghost lineage, present in all modern humans, contributed roughly 0.5–1% of DNA via interbreeding in Africa more than 50,000 years ago; a super-archaic lineage entered via Denisovans. The findings, published in Science, expand understanding of repeated archaic introgression.

UN survey finds young adults still aspire to partnership and parenthood despite falling fertility rates
→A major UNFPA survey of more than 108,000 young adults aged 18-39 across 73 countries shows most continue to value marriage, partnership and having children even as global fertility rates decline. Economic insecurity, housing costs and job instability are the primary barriers preventing many from realizing these goals. The findings challenge assumptions that young people are rejecting family life.
