Discovered in Portugal in 1998, the individual dubbed the “Lapedo Child” has long perplexed scientists, thanks to a curious mix of features

A recent study compared features of Neanderthals' inner ears across space and time to extrapolate what happened to them tens of thousands of years ago.

The climate and early human societies were changing quickly during the fall of our closest evolutionary relative—and are big clues to the causes of their demise.

It began when Nhlamulo “Nota” Baloyi made the following remarks about white people: “They are inferior species (compared) to us. We’re Homo Sapiens; they have got Neanderthal blood in them. This is the science. This science was not done by black people, it was done by them”.

Neanderthal fossils show a major population drop 110,000 years ago. Researchers link this to reduced genetic diversity.

For thousands of years, Neanderthals flourished across Eurasia. But new research suggests their genetic diversity plummeted in a sudden population collapse 110,000 years ago.

Did you know that many of us have up to 4% neanderthal DNA? And that 100% of your DNA may come from outer space? No joke. The biochemistry that defined the coding system of your D

University of Tokyo researchers have investigated the origin and dispersal scenarios of Homo sapiens into East Eurasia. The team examined how migration routes, genetic contributions from archaic humans,

Scientists have dated the skeleton of an ancient child that caused a stir when it was first discovered because it carries features from both humans and Neanderthals. The child's remains were discovered 27 years ago in a rock shelter called Lagar Velho in central Portugal.
