Researchers at the University of Cologne use simulations to investigate the likelihood of interactions between Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans on the Iberian Peninsula / publication in ...

Archaeologists working on a dig site in the country of Georgia have discovered a 1.8 million-year-old human jawbone. The Orozmani Paleoanthropology & Archaeology Field School posted a video of the ...

The Pith: I review a recent paper which argues for a southern African origin of modern humanity. I argue that the statistical inference shouldn't be trusted as the final word. This paper reinforces ...

Simulations suggest Neanderthals were on the brink of extinction by the time our ancestors arrived on the Iberian Peninsula.

Two of the traits that set modern humans apart from non-human primates are taller stature and a higher basal metabolic rate. Researchers have identified a genetic variant that contributed to the ...

Using a specially developed simulation model, researchers at the University of Cologne have traced and analysed the dynamics of possible encounters between Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans ...

Look in the mirror and the feature that quietly sets you apart from every other species is not your eyes or your opposable ...
