The gene that enables East Asian adults to drink milk without getting side effects like stomach cramps was probably inherited from Neanderthals, thousands of years before humans started consuming ...

DNA studies suggest that Neanderthals underwent a steep decline in genetic diversity around 110,000 years ago—a forbidding omen of the species’ disappearance approximately 70,000 years later.

A study of the inner ear bones of Neanderthals shows a significant loss of diversity in their shape around 110,000 years ago, suggesting a genetic bottleneck that contributed to Neanderthals' decline.

The least-complex language comprehension phenotype involves only the comprehension of commands, he said. "So Neanderthals ...

A study published in Nature Communications describes evolutionary changes in Neanderthal morphology through the analysis of their inner ear structures, known as the bony labyrinth. The research ...
