Neanderthals Used Ancient Gloop as Antibacterial Medicine, Study Suggests Relatives of modern humans may have created and used a sticky substance both as a glue and to treat their wounds, preempting modern medicine by as much as 200,000 years, a new study suggests.

This study provides the best explanation I have seen for why we lost the Neanderthals.

The Lehringen Spear, Revisited New analysis of a 125,000-year-old Neanderthal site in Germany settles old doubts about elephant hunting and reveals a far more versatile predator than the record suggested

New zooarchaeological analysis of the 125,000-year-old Lehringen site confirms Neanderthals hunted a straight-tusked elephant with a wooden spear and butchered bear, beaver, and aurochs at the same lakeshore. #Neanderthals #Paleoanthropology #Zooarchaeology www.anthropology.net/p/the-lehrin...

is that true strength or borrowed stability?

One Lineage to Rule Them All: The Last Neanderthals Were Descended from a Single Refugium Population New DNA confirms Europe's last Neanderthals descended from a single population that survived the MIS 4 glacial in southwest France.

New mtDNA from 6 Neanderthal sites shows nearly all Late Neanderthals descended from one refugium population in SW France ~65,000 years ago — then collapsed again ~42,000 years ago. #Neanderthals #AncientDNA #Paleoanthropology www.anthropology.net/p/one-lineag...

Genetic clues tell the story of Neanderthals’ decline. by Michael Marshall — New Scientist

Genetic clues tell the story of Neanderthals’ decline.

The Neanderthal population shrank during a cold spell around 75 000 years ago, and the loss of genetic diversity may have contributed to their eventual extinction.
