This innovative approach combines climate data, archaeological evidence, and population dynamics to simulate how Neanderthals moved across the landscape. The model reveals that by the time ...

Using a specially developed simulation model, researchers at the University of Cologne have traced and analyzed the dynamics ...

The oldest sediment DNA discovered so far comes from Greenland and is 2 million years old.

Modern humans may indeed have wiped out Neanderthals – but not through war or murder alone. A new study suggests that when the two species interbred, a slow-acting genetic incompatibility increased ...

Researchers at the University of Cologne use simulations to investigate the likelihood of interactions between Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans on the Iberian Peninsula / publication in ...

A study scanned genomes from over 450,000 people to find individuals who carry rare archaic versions of DNA changes once ...

Tiny genetic variations between humans, Neanderthals and Denisovans might not be all they were cracked up to be.

Modern human faces are surprisingly delicate compared with the jutting jaws and broad noses of our closest extinct cousins. The contrast is not just cosmetic, it reflects deep differences in growth, ...

Every face carries a story, shaped long before birth by a quiet choreography of genes switching on and off at just the right moment. A new study suggests that part of that story reaches far back into ...

When scientists sequenced the first Neanderthal genomes, they did not just resurrect a lost branch of the human family tree, they uncovered a living legacy inside most people alive today. A small but ...
