A Neanderthal was buried 75,000 years ago, and experts painstakingly pieced together what she looked like. The striking recreation is featured in a new Netflix documentary, “Secrets of the ...
Tens of thousands of years ago, a Neanderthal nicknamed Thorin lived in southeastern France, not long before his species went extinct. His remains were first discovered in 2015 and sparked a ...
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 first Neanderthal remains—Engis 2 (a skull)—were discovered in 1829 by Dutch/Belgian prehistorian Philippe-Charles Schmerling in the Grottes d'Engis, Belgium.

A new multi-method luminescence dating has suggested that La Ferrassie 1 could be dated to ~45,000 years ago. [7] This new method of dating could prove to change many Neanderthal sequences. Scientists used the Ferrassie Mousterian layers to support the chronology of La Ferrassie 1. [3] This new chronology could also change the dating of La ...
