A 43,000-year-old stone roughly the size of a potato, found in a rock shelter in central Spain, was confirmed in 2025 to bear a single red-ochre fingerprint in its centre โ€” placed deliberately by a Neanderthal so that the rest of the stone resembled a face โ€” making it one of the oldest known examples of human-like abstract thinking in the prehistoric record, by a species many people still imagine as incapable of art

The story of the stone begins, like many archaeological stories, with a moment of mild astonishment at the bottom of an excavation trench. The team from Complutense University of Madrid had been working at the San Lรกzaro rock-shelter for several seasons, recovering the usual inventory of Middle Paleolithic finds โ€” stone tools, animal bones, the [โ€ฆ]

3 Distinct Denisovan Groups Left A Genetic Legacy In Modern Southeast Asians, Revealing Hidden Complexity In How They Interacted With Human Ancestors 

Le Tan/Unsplash.com Prehistoric Homo sapiens seem to have had a real thing for Denisovans, and mated with this extinct human lineage pretty much everywhere they met. As a result, many present-day groups carry complex combinations of archaic genes, and new research shows that people in Southeast Asia possess DNA inherited from three distinct Denisovan populations........Continue reading...

๐Ÿง Ah yes, the groundbreaking revelation that men lie about their heightโ€”stop the presses! ๐Ÿคฏ From #Neanderthals crafting stone sandals for an extra inch to modern-day basketball players' NBA draft dreams, the height of insecurity knows no bounds. Apparently, the only thing taller than these men is the pile of lies they stand on. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Even Basketball Players Lie About Their Height

From guys trying to make it past womenโ€™s six-foot filter on dating apps to Spurs players, it seems no man is immune from height scrutiny. Brady Brickner-Wood on tall privilege.

Male Neanderthals and female humans shaped modern DNA through ancient interbreeding, study finds

Most people living outside Africa carry small traces of Neanderthal DNA. These inherited fragments appear across many human chromosomes. One part of the genome stands apart. The human X chromosome contains long regions where Neanderthal ancestry almost never appears...
