The tracks of two adults and a child, researchers say, were left some 13,000 years ago.

The weapon tips may be the earliest known evidence of the inhabitants of this region.

The practice may have played a role in facing the Incas.

The new findings suggest that Neanderthals were more like us than previously thought.

Carbon left from their high-seafood diet made dating the skeletons impossible until now.

The definition of a 'modern' human just became more contentious.

A pattern on the shard links the artifact to a region far from where it was found.

So-called "hippie apes" prefer jerks to helpers, possibly because jerks appear more dominant.

It's gooey, but nutritious.

Evidence suggests ancient humans may have hunted the mammoth and then stored the meat at the bottom of a pond.

Despite losing his hearing, some of his sight and part of his right arm, this Neanderthal managed to live until his 40s.

Mammoth ivory, like modern elephant ivory, is durable and doesn't splinter easily, and so makes a good spear for hunting.

What's your Neanderthal quotient?

The findings of a new study could benefit both the fields of anthropology and forensics.

Human evolution: the skeletons in the closet

The find refutes earlier ideas about humanity's ability to adapt to altitude.
