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 ...

Early human ancestors called the LRJ Group lived in Europe for 80 generations, intermingling with Neanderthals, before ...

Over a century ago, anthropologist Raymond Dart chipped an ancient skull out of some rock from an ancient quarry — and revealed the face of an ancient human relative.

Earliest evidence of human fire-making found at 400,000-year-old Suffolk site. Researchers led by the British Museum have uncovered what they believe is the earliest known evidence of humans making ...

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

Human evolution is not a straight line but a complex branching tree shared with other great apes. This overview explains the ...

The knowledge of how to make fire rather than relying on the exploitation of naturally occurring fire marked a key ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered the oldest-known evidence of fire-making by prehistoric humans in the English county of Suffolk — a hearth apparently made by Neanderthals about 415,000 years ago — ...

Why is swapping saliva something all human societies have normalised? Turns out kissing isn't just a human thing — all sorts of species appear to kiss, and new research suggests Neanderthals did it ...

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