Simulations suggest Neanderthals were on the brink of extinction by the time our ancestors arrived on the Iberian Peninsula.

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

The discovery of ancient human cousins has long stirred wonder and debate. Early Neanderthal remains offered a glimpse into our distant past, prompting questions about how they lived and whether they ...

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 ...

The oldest sediment DNA discovered so far comes from Greenland and is 2 million years old.

On the slopes of Mount Carmel in northern Israel, a small skull has changed the story of human history. Buried in Skhul Cave roughly 140,000 years ago, the remains of a five-year-old child show that ...

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

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 ...

For only the second time, researchers have obtained the full genome of a Denisovan, a group of ancient humans who lived in Asia. The DNA was extracted from a single 200,000-year-old tooth found in a ...
