What killed the Neanderthals? A lack of social connection may have played a big role in their extinction
What killed off the Neanderthals? Many theories have been floated, from climate change and disease to being outcompeted and ...
A new modeling study suggests that greater connectivity between groups may have given Homo sapiens the edge over Neanderthals ...
A new study suggests Neanderthals didn’t go extinct simply because of climate change or competition with Homo sapiens. Instead, the key difference may have been social connectivity—Homo sapiens formed ...
While Homo sapiens and Neanderthals lived near each other and likely interacted, they usually preferred living in slightly ...
Figure 1: Computer simulations of population density of Neanderthals (left) and Homo sapiens (right) 43,000 years ago (upper) and 38,000 years ago (lower). Orange (green) circles indicate ...
The idea that modern humans inherited DNA from Neanderthal ancestors is one of the 21st century’s most celebrated discoveries in evolution. It may not be that ...
New interpretations suggest that Neanderthal and Sapiens interactions were shaped by biology and social structure, not simple ...
Thin stretches of the human X chromosome look oddly empty when you scan for Neanderthal DNA. Geneticists even have a name for the gaps: “Neanderthal deserts.” They sit there like blank tape in an ...
