In the last decade, archaeologists have learned to read the genetic traces that ancient humans and Neanderthals left not only ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

An international team, involving researchers from the University of Seville, the Andalusian Institute of Earth Sciences in Granada and the University of Huelva, has identified the first fossilised ...

LONDON — Scientists in Britain say ancient humans may have learned to make fire far earlier than previously believed, after ...

These genomes are the oldest yet found of modern humans in Europe, though they were not the first hominids to walk these ...

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

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 - ...

Sixty thousand years ago, two groups of Neanderthals lived just a stone’s throw apart in what’s now northern Israel. But they had very different cultures when it came to food, according to a recent ...
