The Neumark-Nord site, discovered back in the 1980s, covers roughly 70 acres. In this region, Neanderthals hunted and ...

The fossils range in size and type, from the smooth shells of Tylostoma to the spiny remains of Tetragramma variolare.Their ...

New research suggests that modern conditions may trace back to Neanderthal skull traits we share with our extinct cousins.

Archaeologists have found evidence to suggest Neanderthals operated a sophisticated 'fat factory' to extract the fat content ...

Remnants of Neanderthal DNA in modern genomes have long prompted questions about interspecies mating. Two studies shed light on when that occurred — and when ancient humans left Africa.

We don't know when the last Neanderthal died, ... "Given the wide range of Neanderthals — from Wales to Siberia at least — it's extremely unlikely we would be lucky enough to find the very ...

Nord, Germany, systematically transported and processed the bones of at least 172 large mammals to extract nutrient-rich ...

The researchers explained that, given humans collect for a wide range of tangible and intangible reasons, Neanderthals may have gathered the fossils due to any combination of factors, including ...

We don't know when the last Neanderthal died, but many archaeologists think some of the last lineages lived in southern Iberia. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

The Neanderthal DNA found in modern human genomes has long raised questions about ancient interbreeding. New studies offer a timeline of when that occurred and when ancient humans left Africa.

This practice has been documented as far back as 28,000 years ago, but has not been confirmed at older sites, making ...

DNA studies suggest that Neanderthals underwent a steep decline in genetic diversity around 110,000 years ago—a forbidding omen of the species’ disappearance approximately 70,000 years later.
