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

For thousands of years, Neanderthals flourished across Eurasia. But new research suggests their genetic diversity plummeted in a sudden population collapse 110,000 years ago.

is the best source of data to investigate the evolutionary history of Pleistocene humans. The bony labyrinth is housed in the petrosal portion of the temporal bone and comprises the semicircular ...

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 ...
