A 2019 reanalysis of 210,000-year-old skull fragments from the Greek Apidima Cave assumed to have belonged to a Neanderthal concluded that they belonged to a modern human, and a Neanderthal skull dating to 170,000 years ago from the cave indicates H. sapiens were replaced by Neanderthals until returning about 40,000 years ago.

Neanderthals maintained a low population and suffered inbreeding depression, which may have impeded their ability to progress technologically. They produced Mousterian stone tools (a Middle Palaeolithic industry), maintained and maybe created fire, and possibly wore blankets and ponchos. They predominantly ate whatever was abundant close to ...
Still, Neanderthal lithic technology did achieve some complexities. [144] Neanderthals are associated with the Mousterian industry. [145] The Mousterian is also associated with North African H. sapiens as early as 315,000 years ago [146] and was found in Northern China about 47–37,000 years ago in caves such as Jinsitai or Tongtiandong.

They determined that the flow of Neanderthal genes into humans occurred roughly 47,000 years ago and lasted no more than 7,000 years. Those findings line up with archaeological evidence that ...
They suggest that the period of mixing between Neanderthals and modern humans was much more complex, extending over about 7,000 years rather than being intermittent.
Neanderthals at El Sidron cave in Spain appear to have a more limited diet of meat when compared to other Neanderthal groups. In February 2019, scientists reported evidence, based on isotope studies, that at least some Neanderthals may have eaten meat .
In 1958, Richard Mackarness authored Eat Fat and Grow Slim, which proposed a low-carbohydrate "Stone Age" diet. [ 17 ] In his 1975 book The Stone Age Diet , gastroenterologist Walter L. Voegtlin advocated a meat-based diet, with low proportions of vegetables and starchy foods, based on his declaration that humans were "exclusively flesh-eaters ...
A Neanderthal was buried 75,000 years ago, and experts painstakingly pieced together what she looked like. The striking recreation is featured in a new Netflix documentary, “Secrets of the ...
