If your recent ancestry lies outside of Africa, you can safely assume that you carry some Neanderthal DNA. Human origins expert Professor Chris Stringer discusses what this Neanderthal inheritance may ...

The reasons for the demise of the Neanderthals some 30 thousand years ago, only a few millennia after the first appearance of modern humans in Europe, remain controversial, and are a focus of ...

The implication is that the fossils were found and collected by the Neanderthals. Since there is no obvious reason for finding and collecting these items in terms of survival or reproduction ...

“And what’s really exciting is that even though there was this broader scope of traits that was considered, they point to effects of Neanderthal DNA on similar systems to what’s been seen previously.” ...

It's only natural that we're curious about Neanderthals, our hominid kin who, on an evolutionary time scale, died off so recently. How intelligent were they? Did they interact with Cro Magnons?

“The results point to a mosaic pattern of Neanderthal extinction in Europe and provide a shorter time frame for the potential interaction of humans with Neanderthals,” said study author Ron Pinhasi, a ...
