Genetic analysis of two skull fragments dating back almost 40,000 years shows that our species colonised Europe from the east and interbred with our Neanderthal cousins.

Researchers have been able to virtually reconstruct all the components related to the artistic process that took place to create this wall of paleolithic art.

A beautiful rural landscape in the UK has been named the best place to see autumn leaves in the whole of Europe, and here is some iconic locations to visit in the area.

It is a Paleo myth that only men hunted, created art and made stone tools, and women merely gathered food while feeding babies.

Leading researchers at the Natural History Museum (NHM) have found evidence to suggest that cannibalism was a customary funerary practice in Europe during the Magdalenian period.

15,000-21,000 years ago, inland Iberia may have been more populated than traditionally thought.

Prehistoric people endured frigid and dry conditions in the highlands of central Spain during the coldest part of the last glacial period

Cave artists worked in similar ways to modern artists, taking inspiration from a basic form or shape, like a crack in a material or a smudge of paint on a canvas.

As the world faces unprecedented challenges, including the need for sustainable infrastructure, civil engineers are being called upon to find new solutions to old problems From the archival discoveries, it is revealed that it has taken thousands of years for man to reach the present state. All along he has been inventing and innovating new things according to his needs. It

Understanding Palaeolithic hominin subsistence strategies requires the comprehensive taxonomic identification of faunal remains. The high fragmentation of Late Pleistocene faunal assemblages often prevents proper taxonomic identification based on bone morphology. It has been assumed that the morphologically unidentifiable component of the faunal assemblage would reflect the taxonomic abundances of the morphologically identified portion. In this study, we analyse three faunal datasets covering th...
