Part of an adult Neandertal’s skeleton was found in a manner that suggests intentional burial The excavation of an adult Neandertal’s partial upper-body skeleton in Iraqi Kurdistan has revived a ...

A stretch of Neandertal DNA has been associated with some cases of severe COVID-19, but it’s unclear how much of a risk it poses. Christopher Intagliata reports. The risk factors for COVID-19 are many ...

Some people don’t just have a caveman mentality; they may actually carry a little relic of the Stone Age in their DNA. A new study of the Neandertal genome shows that humans and Neandertals interbred.

Researchers in Germany and the United States have announced an ambitious plan to complete a first draft of the Neandertal genome within the next two years. As a trial, the collaborators have already ...

This press release is available in German, French, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese. An international research team has sequenced the Neandertal genome, using pill-sized samples of bone powder from three ...

ADN antiguo de neandertales y nuestra especie ha demostrado que los grupos probablemente se cruzaron en el Cercano Oriente después de que los humanos modernos abandonásemos África hace 50.000 años.

The researchers identified regions with Neandertal ancestry in over 300 individuals. They assessed sharing of segments, inferred gene flow, and looked at variation to identify candidates for positive ...

Re-examination of a circa 100,000-year-old archaic early human skull found 35 years ago in Northern China has revealed the surprising presence of an inner-ear formation long thought to occur only in ...

Paleoanthropologists used to pray that they would unearth big troves of intact Neandertal skeletons and well-preserved artifacts that they could comb for clues to the origins of the human race. But ...

Darren Curnoe receives funding from the Australian Research Council. In a sort-of Ice Age version of Jurassic Park, Harvard University’s Professor George Church has suggested – to much media coverage ...

Odds are you carry DNA from a Neandertal, Denisovan or some other archaic human. Just a few years ago such a statement would have been virtually unthinkable. For decades evidence from genetics seemed ...
