Using a specially developed simulation model, researchers at the University of Cologne have traced and analyzed the dynamics ...

This innovative approach combines climate data, archaeological evidence, and population dynamics to simulate how Neanderthals moved across the landscape. The model reveals that by the time ...

The skull of a small child who lived and died many millennia ago represents the oldest direct evidence to date of the prolonged mingling between anatomically modern humans and our closely related ...

Researchers at the University of Cologne use simulations to investigate the likelihood of interactions between Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans on the Iberian Peninsula / publication in ...

Using a specially developed simulation model, researchers at the University of Cologne have traced and analysed the dynamics of possible encounters ...

Two of the traits that set modern humans apart from non-human primates are taller stature and a higher basal metabolic rate. Researchers have identified a genetic variant that contributed to the ...

Until now, at least 14 different species have been assigned to the genus Homo since it emerged in Ethiopia some 2.8 million years ago, revealing branching evolutionary stories of survival, intermixing ...
