In addition to insight into expanding our working knowledge of the Neandertal genome, these specific remains offered clues into Neandertal social life. Though previous research has discussed many ...

The blood groups of three Neandertals one Denisovan have been determined by a Marseille-based team including a palaeoanthropologist, population geneticists, and haematologists. Their research ...
