A new analysis of ancient DNA has found that Neanderthal genomes contain 62 percent more ancestry from anatomically modern humans on their X chromosomes than on the rest of their chromosomes. The ...

While it's common knowledge that Neanderthals and modern humans interbred long ago, a new genetic study is suggesting that among the Neanderthals, their modern human blood came mostly from the moms in ...

Most people have some amount of Neanderthal DNA from the extinct cousins of modern humans who lived in Europe and Asia until about 40,000 years ago. New research on available Neanderthal genetic ...

Successful matings between anatomically modern humans migrating from Africa, Neanderthals, Denisovans and “ghost lineages” all contributed to the contemporary human genome.

We’ve learned so much about Neanderthals in the past year. We have to be living through some kind of Neanderthal knowledge Golden age. Not sure what breakthroughs started it, but we’re drowning in ...

Two genetic changes in the genomes of Neanderthals contributed to the extinct hominin’s characteristic robust physique — and the differences persist in modern humans. The variants make carriers taller ...

Neanderthal babies have always been hard to study, mostly because their remains are so rare. That scarcity has left one of the oldest arguments in human origins unsettled: were Neanderthals following ...
