Today, sequencing machines can decode up to a hundred million times more DNA than their early predecessors. Where the first ...

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

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 ...

Neanderthal DNA is 99.7% identical to our own, and researchers claim that some humans might be carrying as much as 2% of the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
