Neanderthals went extinct roughly 39,000 years ago, but in some sense these close cousins of our species are not gone. Their ...
This year, we learned that our Neanderthal cousins were a lot like us, despite treading their own path that ended in ...
New research reveals that Neanderthal genes entered our own DNA within the past 50,000 years, rewriting the story of how Homo sapiens spread across the world. The Homo sapiens fossils found beneath ...
A new analysis of DNA from ancient modern humans (Homo sapiens) in Europe and Asia has determined, more precisely than ever, the time period during which Neanderthals interbred with modern humans ...

Their legacy lives on in the genomes of most people on Earth, thanks to interbreeding between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals. New research is providing the most precise estimate to date of when ...
Most of us have Neanderthal ancestors, and now scientists how revealed important details about how their DNA shape us today.
DNA from bones and teeth of these early human ancestors is helping scientists understand the interactions between early Homo sapiens and the Neanderthals they encountered after migrating out of Africa ...
