Possible Evolutionary “Missing Link” from North Africa Identified
New Findings from North Africa Stir Debate Over Human Ancestry A recent report from Live Science highlights a provocative claim by a collaboration between Moroccan and French researchers. They argue that fossil evidence from North Africa represents the last common ancestor of modern humans, Neanderthals, and Denisovans. Dated to about 773,000 years ago, the remains…

45,000-Year-Old DNA Discovery Reveals Neanderthals Were More Connected Than We Thought
Introduction: A DNA Thread Across Eurasia A remarkable discovery in Crimea is reframing how scientists understand Neanderthal migrations. A small bone fragment, unearthed in a carefully documented excavation, yielded ancient DNA that connects Neanderthal groups from Crimea with populations as distant as Siberia. This genetic thread suggests that Neanderthals moved, traded, or at least interacted…
