State broadcasters in Poland have announced the discovery of a Neanderthal workshop 65 miles (105 kilometers) from Warsaw, where archeologists say the ancient hominin would have repaired butchering ...

Neanderthal genes make up 1-2% of the genomes of non-Africans. Scientists analyzed the lengths of regions of Neanderthal DNA in 58 ancient Eurasian genomes of early modern humans and determined that ...

A skull abnormality that squeezes the lower brain, often causing headaches and other neurological problems, might be part of our genetic inheritance from Neanderthals. People with Chiari malformations ...
