Maternal DNA from Neanderthal teeth found in Stajnia Cave show Neanderthals moved across wide areas of Europe.

Neanderthals may not only have feasted on rhinoceroses, they may also have used their exceptionally hard teeth as specialized ...

Somewhere around 47,000 years ago, in mountain valleys and along migration corridors stretching from Iran to central Europe, ...

Scientists have extracted the entire genome of a 130,000-year-old Neanderthal from a single toe bone in a Siberian cave, an accomplishment that far outstrips any previous work on Neanderthal genes.

Finds at sites in Spain and France suggest that Neandertals used the teeth of ancient rhinos for heavy-duty fabrication.

The latest research on a Neanderthal infant from Amud Cave in Israel is giving a clearer picture of how different early development may have been in o.

A remarkable genetic breakthrough has uncovered what may be one of the clearest snapshots yet of a Neanderthal “community” living together 100,000 years ago in what is now Poland. The findings reveal ...

A new study suggests Neanderthals didn’t go extinct simply because of climate change or competition with Homo sapiens. Instead, the key difference may have been social connectivity—Homo sapiens formed ...

Unexpected toolkit find: Researchers discovered that Neanderthals used rhino teeth as tools, based on fossil wear patterns and experimental replication. Durability advantage: Rhino enamel’s ...
