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 ...

Archaeologists have found the earliest evidence yet of fire technology — and it was created by Neanderthals in England more ...

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 ...

A study shows Neanderthals made first fire in Britain 400,000 years ago, pushing back the timeline of controlled fire use by ...

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 ...

More than a decade after the first Neanderthal genome was sequenced, scientists are still working to understand how ...

Scientists have discovered the oldest-known evidence of fire-making by prehistoric humans in the English county of Suffolk - ...

Evidence from a site in southeast England suggests early humans were purposefully and repeatedly igniting blazes roughly ...
