Neanderthals also consumed a variety of plants and mushrooms across their range. [134] [135] They possibly employed a wide range of cooking techniques, such as roasting, [136] smoking, [137] and curing. [138] Neanderthals competed with several large carnivores, but also seem to have hunted them down, namely cave lions, wolves, and cave bears. [32]
Location of Neandertal, Germany. The Neandertal (/ n i ˈ æ n d ər ˌ t ɑː l /, also US: /-ˌ t ɔː l /, German: [neˈʔandɐtʰaːl]; sometimes called "the Neander Valley" in English) is a small valley of the river Düssel in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, located about 12 km (7.5 mi) east of Düsseldorf, the capital city of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The new research estimates an average date for Neanderthal-Homo sapiens interbreeding of about 47,000 years ago, compared to previous estimates that ranged from 54,000 to 41,000 years ago.
Svante Pääbo, Nobel Prize laureate and one of the researchers who published the first sequence of the Neanderthal genome.. 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 ...

One of the southernmost Neanderthals: Homo neanderthalensis fossil from Tabun Cave, Israel. 120.000-50.000 BC. Israel Museum.. As the Levant is the landbridge to Eurasia, Dmanisi remains in Georgia from 1.81 Ma suggest that hominins passed through the Levant some time before this (unless they crossed the Bab el-Mandeb strait into Arabia).
One of the individuals, the Altai Neanderthal, is a Neanderthal woman. [21] Before its DNA was sequenced, the Altai Neanderthal had been given the provisional name of Denisova 5 . [ 30 ] In 2018, Denisova 11 was identified as a Neanderthal/Denisova hybrid, based on whole genome sequencing and comparisons.
