The research team examinedfossil remains from two significant sites: Sima de los Huesos in Atapuerca, Spain, a ...

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

For thousands of years, Neanderthals flourished across Eurasia. But new research suggests their genetic diversity plummeted ...

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.

"We were surprised to find that the pre-Neanderthals from the Sima de los Huesos exhibited a level of morphological diversity ...

The findings, based on fossil samples from Atapuerca (Spain) and Krapina (Croatia), as well as from various European and Western Asian sites have been published in Nature Communications.

Croatian civil engineering company Institut IGH [ZSE:<a href=" target="_blank">IGH] said on Monday it has sign ...

The reduction in diversity observed between the Krapina sample and classic Neanderthals is especially striking and clear, providing strong evidence of a bottleneck event.” On the other hand ...

The Croatian site of Krapina represents the most complete collection of early Neanderthals and dates to approximately 130,000 years ago. The researchers calculated the amount of morphological ...

Neanderthals emerged around 250,000 years ago from pre-Neanderthals populations (500,000 years to 250,000 years ago). These populations roamed Eurasia. For years, researchers believed that as ...
