Preeclampsia, a complication of pregnancy that involves high blood pressure, could have led to a decline in Neanderthals' ...

A growing body of genetic evidence suggests that Neanderthals and Denisovans carried many of the same regulatory gene networks linked to language and vocal anatomy in modern humans, challenging the ...

A complex picture of how Neanderthals died out, and the role that modern humans played in their disappearance, is emerging.

The discovery of ancient human cousins has long stirred wonder and debate. Early Neanderthal remains offered a glimpse into our distant past, prompting questions about how they lived and whether they ...

On the slopes of Mount Carmel in northern Israel, a small skull has changed the story of human history. Buried in Skhul Cave roughly 140,000 years ago, the remains of a five-year-old child show that ...

A reconstruction of a Neanderthal man (right) based on skull found at the La Ferrassie rock shelter in Dordogne Valley, France. He's face to face with a male Homo sapien. If you've ever seen what a ...

The results were grossly inaccurate, stemming from AI pulling its information from outdated stereotypes in lieu of paywalled ...

Long before agriculture, humans were transforming Europe’s wild landscapes. Advanced simulations show that hunting and fire use by Neanderthals and Mesolithic hunter-gatherers reshaped forests and ...

Neanderthals died out some 30,000 years ago, but their genes live on within many of us. African people have very little Neanderthal DNA because their ancestors didn't make the trip through Eurasia, ...

Homo sapiens and Neanderthals were probably interbreeding over a huge area stretching from western Europe into Asia. It was thought that this probably happened in the eastern Mediterranean region, but ...

Turns out we have a lot more in common with Neanderthals than we thought. In a stunning breakthrough, researchers at Germany's Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology have mapped the ...
