A new study suggests that some modern brain malformations may be linked to Neanderthal ancestry. Researchers have found that ...

In a stunning new study, geneticists in Japan have revealed how injecting a 40,000-year-old Neanderthal gene into mice has led to profound changes in their skeletal structure. This experiment, ...

Recent research suggests that some of these genetic variants inherited from Neanderthals could be linked to autism spectrum ...

A genetic engineer is sharing the six physical traits and behaviors that could indicate you have Neanderthal DNA 40,000 years after they went extinct.

New research suggests that modern conditions may trace back to Neanderthal skull traits we share with our extinct cousins.

If you regularly experience headaches, dizziness, balance problems and blurred vision, our Neanderthal cousins could be to ...

DNA from Neanderthals has small, but detectable effects on humans today, stemming from an ancient period where humans and Neanderthals interbred, a genetics expert told DailyMail.com.

People with Chiari malformations have a skull shape similar to Neanderthals, suggesting that the condition may be caused by ...

Your Neanderthal ancestors could be to blame. Neanderthal DNA constitutes up to 4 percent of the modern human genome, but the exact impacts of this DNA have remained largely unknown—until now.

The Neanderthal DNA found in modern human genomes has long raised questions about ancient interbreeding. New studies offer a timeline of when that occurred and when ancient humans left Africa.

A multi-institutional research team has found that Neanderthal DNA can actively influence some human traits, particularly those involved in immunity.

Nowadays, Neanderthal DNA occupies, on average, 2% of the genomes of people outside Africa. However, the frequency of Neanderthal DNA that codes for beneficial traits may be as high as 80% in some ...
