Archaeologists in Israel have discovered the remains of one of the earliest Homo sapiens found outside Africa, an adult male who appears to have been deliberately stabbed in the face before being buried in a cave.

A research group, including Kyoto University, announced the discovery of shells in a cave in southern Turkey, suggesting potential cultural exchange between Neanderthals and modern humans (Homo sapiens).

A new study investigates the reasons behind the strong preference for right-handedness in Homo sapiens, noting that humans are the only great ape species with such a clear preference. The research suggests two probable causes for this unique trait.

An article explores the generation born around 1870, suggesting they might represent a human peak. It delves into their seriousness and sensitivity, portraying them as a lineage similar to us yet inhabiting a distinct reality, referencing Bo Bergman's letters.

A new study suggests that early Homo sapiens in South Africa used dedicated quarries for stone tools as far back as 220,000 years ago, indicating long-term resource planning earlier than previously believed.

Two complementary studies offer new insights into the mysterious extinction of Neanderthals, suggesting they lived more isolated lives than Homo sapiens and experienced a genetic bottleneck 65,000 years ago.

New scientific research indicates a specific pattern of interbreeding between humans and Neanderthals tens of thousands of years ago, revealing preferences where the father was typically Neanderthal and the mother Homo sapiens.
