A UK team of archaeologists on Thursday revealed the reconstructed face of a 75,000-year-old Neanderthal woman as researchers reappraise the perception of the species as brutish and unsophisticated.
Analysis of DNA from present-day humans has revealed that, during this time, Neanderthals and Homo sapiens occasionally encountered one another and interbred. Shanidar cave in Iraqi Kurdistan was ...
Scientists build a 3D model of one of our evolutionary cousins from the pieces of a shattered skull. Face of 75,000-year-old Neanderthal woman revealed Skip to main content
An individual called Palomas 96, a young Neanderthal woman discovered in 2006-2007, shows properties of both European Neanderthals (in face, teeth, limbs, and body proportions, but her "locomotor hypertrophy" resembles that of humans of the Late Pleistocene.

On 7 May 2010, following the genome sequencing of three Vindija Neanderthals, a draft sequence of the Neanderthal genome was published and revealed that Neanderthals shared more alleles with Eurasian populations (e.g. French, Han Chinese, and Papua New Guinean) than with ...
