Pre-Neanderthals once roamed Eurasia around 500,000 years to 250,000 years ago. During the end of that period, pre-Neanderthals slowly began the evolutionary process into early Neanderthals, which ...

Discovered approximately 90 years ago, the fossil was reanalyzed using advanced micro-CT scanning and 3D modeling. A groundbreaking international study has uncovered the oldest physical evidence of ...

An international study led by researchers from Tel Aviv University and the French National Center for Scientific Research provides the first scientific evidence that Neanderthals and Homo sapiens had ...

Neanderthals became known as carnivores because of their hunting, but scientists now say this is inaccurate - Science History/Alamy Neanderthals loved eating maggots and were not the total carnivores ...

In a rocky outcrop on Mount Carmel, in what is now Israel, a group of ancient humans buried their dead about 140,000 years ago. Scientists uncovered the site, called Skhul Cave, in 1928, and about ...
