An analysis of the semicircular canals in Neanderthal ears reveals evidence of a 'bottleneck' event, leading to a reduction ...

New study challenges the theory that Neanderthals originated after an evolutionary event that implied the loss of part of ...

Neanderthal fossils show a major population drop 110,000 years ago. Researchers link this to reduced genetic diversity.

A recent study compared features of Neanderthals' inner ears across space and time to extrapolate what happened to them tens of thousands of years ago.

Humans lived under the leafy canopy of a West African rainforest by at least 150,000 years ago. Previously, the oldest secure evidence for humans living in African rainforests dated to about ...
