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 ...

Recent fossil finds could mean that "Lucy" wasn't our direct ancestor, some scientists say. Others strongly disagree.

Ancient DNA is turning Europe’s deep past from a sketch into a family album. Instead of guessing who first called the continent home, researchers can now read genetic traces from teeth, bones and cave ...
