Neanderthals systematically boiled animal bones to extract fat and grease at an industrial scale 125,000 years ago, according to a new study that reframes long-standing assumptions about their dietary ...

(CNN) — Neanderthals may not have been that different from us, after all. New evidence reveals that they created the world's oldest known cave paintings and even wore seashells as body ornaments. Both ...

A new study has revealed new insights into the mating patterns and preferences of early humans.

A preference for pairings between male Neanderthals and female Homo sapiens may answer the question of why there are "Neanderthal deserts" in human chromosomes.

Neanderthal bones recovered from a Belgian cave and dated to between 41,000 and 45,000 years ago bear unmistakable signs of ...

New research reveals that ancient interbreeding between humans and Neanderthals shaped our modern human DNA - especially on the X chromosome.

When the two species got together tens of thousands of years ago, the hookups may have often involved a male Neanderthal and a female human, according to a new study. The findings, described February ...

Genetic research indicates that Neanderthal and Homor Sapiens interbreeding was socially driven to an unexpected degree.

A 2026 study finds sex-biased interbreeding, not genetic incompatibility, likely explains why Neanderthal DNA is scarce on the human X chromosome.

Geneticists have found an interesting pattern in how early humans and Neanderthals interbred—and it wasn't balanced.

Over the past 40 years, phones and computers have turned into the world’s largest library. Answers now arrive in seconds. With generative artificial intelligence, that speed has only increased. A ...

The human genome is a rich, complex record of migration, encounters, and inheritance written over thousands of millennia. Genomic research by members of Sarah Tishkoff's lab at the University of ...
