Oldest human DNA reveals lost branch of the human family tree
Human DNA recovered from remains found in Europe is revealing our species’ shared history with Neanderthals. The trove is the oldest Homo sapiens DNA ever documented, scientists say.
Oldest human DNA helps pinpoint when early humans interbred with Neanderthals
Scientists say they have recovered the oldest known Homo sapiens DNA from human remains found in Europe, and the information is helping to reveal our species’ shared history with Neanderthals. The ancient genomes sequenced from 13 bone fragments ...
Oldest modern human genomes suggest Homo sapiens and Neanderthals interbred over 7,000 years
While Neanderthals and modern humans lived together in Europe for only a relatively short time, two separate studies found inter-species breeding took place from around 50,000 years ago.
Pinning down the details of how and when Neanderthals and homo sapiens interbred
Tens of thousands of years ago, modern humans mated with Neanderthals. But exactly how and when that happened -- and who those groups of humans were -- is less known.
Scientists pinpoint when humans had babies with Neanderthals
Neanderthals interbred with modern humans 47,000 years ago, passing down DNA that still exists in many modern-day people, according to two new studies.
Neanderthals and humans hooked up for 7,000 years, 50,000-year-old DNA confirms
Researchers analyzed remains from two distinct groups of early modern humans found in Bulgaria and Czechia. The Bulgarian group may have interbred with Neanderthals twice, while t
When did Neanderthals interbreed with ancient humans? New research sheds light on our ancestry
The Neanderthal DNA found in modern human genomes has long raised questions about ancient interbreeding. New studies offer a timeline of when that occurred and when ancient humans left Africa.
Humans may not have survived without Neanderthals
While these early European humans were long seen as a species which we successfully dominated after leaving Africa, new studies show that only humans who interbred with Neanderthals went on to thrive,
Ancient genes pinpoint when humans and Neanderthals mixed and mingled
Neanderthals and humans likely mixed and mingled during a narrow time frame 45,000 years ago, scientists reported Thursday. Researchers analyzed ancient genes to pinpoint the time period, which is slightly more recent than previous estimates for the mating.
Humans and Neanderthals met often, but only one event matters
Homo sapiens began in Africa but Neanderthals were Eurasian. Any miscegenation would have happened after sapiens left its homeland to embark on its conquest of the world. But the details were unclear.

Modern human ancestors and Neanderthals mated during a 7,000-year-long 'pulse,' 2 new studies reveal
An analysis of genomes from some of the earliest modern humans to live in Europe reveals their ancestors interbred with Neanderthals in one period between 43,000 and 50,000 years ago.
