But they still haven't pinned down where it fits on our evolutionary family tree. It will take more fossil discoveries to sort that out. The human branch of the evolutionar...

And some of the museum's most impressive pieces carry no labels at all — like a giant stone head lying on the ground that may or may not belong on a nearby empt...

The genome produced from remains of a toe bone found in a Siberian cave is far more detailed than a previous "draft" Neanderthal genome sequenced three year...

Previous dating of bone fossils found at Neanderthal sites in the region put the youngest at about 35,000 years. But researchers from Aus...

Not even an adventurous one. "Definitely not," said George Church. Is he advocating for creating a Neanderthal? No. Does he plan to pursue such a project? "We have no projects, no plans,...
