Neanderthals cold-adapted? Ribcage reconstruction may hold the answer

Researchers at the Department of Paleobiology, Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales in Madrid report that analysis of a Neanderthal ribcage from a cave in Iraq exhibits a "bell-shaped" thorax configuration typical of Neanderthals elsewhere, differing from that of modern humans.

A new timeline for Neanderthal interbreeding with modern humans

A new analysis of DNA from ancient modern humans (Homo sapiens) in Europe and Asia has determined, more precisely than ever, the time period during which Neanderthals interbred with modern humans, starting about 50,500 years ago and lasting about 7,000 years — until Neanderthals began to disappear.

Using DNA extracted from some roughly 45,000-year-old bones, scientists have found a new Neanderthal lineage that likely did not have a lot of interaction with others from its species.
