Neanderthals

A new study indicates that Neanderthals and early Homo sapiens interbred over a broad area spanning most of Europe, the eastern Mediterranean, and western Asia. Researchers analyzed ancient genetic samples to map this hybrid zone, challenging earlier assumptions of a more localized interaction. The findings suggest repeated encounters as humans expanded from Africa.

Archaeologists have uncovered the earliest known evidence of humans intentionally starting fires, dating back 400,000 years, at a site in Suffolk, UK. The findings suggest that early Neanderthals or their ancestors repeatedly ignited fires using pyrite and flint. This discovery pushes back the timeline of human fire control significantly.
