Most humans alive today can trace a very small percentage of their DNA to Neanderthals. However, Neanderthal DNA is slightly more abundant in the genomes of certain populations.
The research also gives a new perspective on why Neanderthals died out so soon after modern humans arrived from Africa. No one knows why this happened, but the new evidence steers us away from ...
Neanderthal remains were discovered here in 1953, including Shanidar 1, who survived several injuries, possibly due to care from others in his group, and Shanidar 4, the famed 'flower burial'.

The Simanya Neanderthals is a large collection of Homo neanderthalensis fossils discovered in Simanya cave, Spain. The collection represents three individuals, possibly more, of various ages. These people belong to the latest stage in Neanderthal development, and may shed light on the persistence of archaic groups before they became extinct.
The genome of a Neanderthal named Thorin suggested he was part of an unknown lineage. He and his community stayed isolated for 50,000 years.
A claim of Neanderthals surviving in a polar refuge in the Ural Mountains [15] is loosely supported by Mousterian stone tools dating to 34,000 years ago from the northern Siberian Byzovaya site at a time when modern humans may not yet have colonised the northern reaches of Europe; [16] however, modern human remains are known from the nearby ...
The individuals living at Ranis had 2.9% Neanderthal ancestry, not dissimilar to most people today, the Nature study found. The new timeline allows scientists to understand better when humans left ...
