A cutting-edge radiocarbon technique has provided the most precise date yet for the Lapedo Child, a prehistoric skeleton with ...

It's possible Neanderthal anatomy favored small groups. Being robust and muscular, Neanderthals were heavier than us. So each Neanderthal needed more food, meaning the land could support fewer ...

or thrown short distances as part of an ambush hunting strategy — neither the stone points nor the features of Neanderthal anatomy support the notion that Neanderthals used long-distance ...

The remains of the Lapedo Child, found in Portugal in 1998, showed signs of being both Neanderthal and human, as later confirmed by DNA. New techniques in radiocarbon dating allowed scientists to ...

A study of the inner ear bones of Neanderthals shows a significant loss of diversity in their shape around 110,000 years ago, suggesting a genetic bottleneck that contributed to Neanderthals' decline.

Schematic representation of the changes in morphological diversity along the evolutionary history of the Neanderthal clade. Sima de los Huesos and, particularly, Krapina populations show similarly ...

In my view, if Neanderthals and Homo sapiens remained separate long enough ... evolve more quickly and spread more easily within and between species than traits based on anatomy and DNA. In addition, ...

For example, early European representatives of Homo sapiens can be distinguished morphologically from preceding and contemporary populations of Neanderthals, and are associated with distinctive ...

In 1998, the skeleton of a 29,000-year-old child was discovered in the Lapedo valley in Portugal. The child had early modern human and Neanderthal features such as the chin and lower arms of a ...
