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...

Neanderthals consumed mollusks as early as 115,000 years ago, especially during the colder months

In a cave in Cartagena, Spain, limpet shells and snails were found, collected in the same way modern humans would have done millennia later
