DNA from cave dirt reveals details of Neanderthals and other ancient humans CNN 2 hrs ago By Katie Hunt, CNN © Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology Early human DNA extracted from dirt can reveal details about ancient cave-dwelling Neanderthals. For centuries, archaeologists have searched caves for teeth and bones entombed in sun-starved dirt in the hope of piecing together how our ancestors lived and what they looked like.

How Neanderthal DNA from cave dirt is revealing details about how early humans lived For centuries, archaeologists have searched caves for teeth and bones entombed in sun-starved dirt in the hope of piecing together how our ancestors lived and what they looked like. Now, new techniques to capture DNA preserved in cave sediment are allowing researchers to detect the presence of Neanderthals and other extinct humans. These ancestors roamed the Earth before and, in some cases, alongside Homo sapie...

The image above is obviously wrong, deliberately. So is the original by Michelangelo. God isnt a gorilla. God even isnt. Perusing through the scientific record, there is strong evidence that other species of sapiens have trodden the earth. There is a strong chance too that we, the sapiens of sapiens, managed to make them disappear with our rat-like breeding and our avaricious needs... Unless they vanished from lack of survival skills in changing habitats... unless they were wiped out by diseas...

The 45,000-year-old Czech skull is the oldest human genome ever discovered April 7, 2021 by archyde According to one study, the oldest DNA found in human remains comes from a woman who lived in the Czech Republic 45,000 years ago. Analysis of her skull revealed that she was one of the first groups of Homo sapiens living in Eurasia after our tribe migrated from Africa. This woman, called zlato ku, is estimated to have fewer than six generations of Neanderthal ancestors in the past. This discov...

Four weeks ago the German broadcaster DW published a new documentary about Neanderthals. So far it has over 1.9 million views on YouTube. It reviews what has been discovered about how these early humans lived for over nearly 300,000 years, from previous glaciation, through the interglaciation period before the present one, and into the last glaciation period before now. Before the final peak of the last glaciation period, about 30,000 years ago, Neanderthals disappeared, it is believed because...

According to a new study, Earth's magnetic poles flipped 42,000 years ago, triggering dramatic changes in temperatures and radiation levels.

End of Neanderthals linked to flip of Earth’s magnetic poles, new study suggests Termed the ‘Adams event,’ the period, lasting 1,000 years, was potentially cataclysmic and might have been what drove early humans to seek shelter in caves, researchers say By Nicola Davis / The Guardian The flipping of the Earth’s magnetic poles together with a drop in solar activity 42,000 years ago could have generated an apocalyptic environment that might have played a role in major events ranging fro...

A new study posits that the shifting of the magnetic poles possibly spelled the end of Neanderthals.
