Neanderthals and Early Humans Hung Out Way More Than We Thought, Study Finds

The first-ever published research out of Tinshemet Cave indicates the two human species regularly interacted and shared technologies and customs.

A cave excavation that is examining findings from Middle Palaeolithic era is providing new insights into Neanderthals and early modern humans. The findings are suggesting that early modern humans and neanderthals co-existed, sharing aspects of daily life, technology and burials customs.

New study reveals Neanderthals faced a population crash 110,000 years ago

A new study has uncovered a major genetic bottleneck in Neanderthals about 110,000 years ago, shedding light on their demographic history and potential causes for their extinction. The research was conducted by an international team of scholars and published in Nature Communications...

Something Bad Happened to Neanderthals 110,000 Years Ago—and It May Have Sealed Their Fate

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.

Neanderthal 'population bottleneck' around 110,000 years ago may have contributed to their extinction

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.

Did you know the 1st recognised #Neanderthal skeleton was initially believed to be a deformed #Russian?

In 1856, a skull was found near Düsseldorf. Anatomist August Mayer examined the #bones & concluded that the strong pelvis was the result of riding & that the pronounced brows were from worrying from pain. He thought him a Russian Cossack from the Napoleonic War.

Another anatomist, Hermann Schaaffhausen, had actually correctly identified the bones - but he wasn't popular.

A Little Boy Found a Strange Stone on the Beach. Archaeologists Told Him It Was a Neanderthal’s Hand Ax.

The artifact is now on display at a museum in southern England. Experts say the find is “so rare that most qualified archaeologists would never find one themselves”.

Ever since scientists discovered that most people on Earth have a small slice of Neanderthal in their DNA, they have been trying to figure out when and how it got there. Now, two research groups say humans interbred with Neanderthals for a limited period about 50,000 years ago as our ancient ancestors migrated out of Africa. But why did Neanderthals die out while humans survived? Read more from @NBCNews.

A new timeline of when Neanderthals and ancient humans interbred

The Neanderthal DNA found in modern human genomes has long raised questions about ancient interbreeding. New studies offer a timeline of when that occurred and when ancient humans left Africa.
