Ancient DNA from Neolithic megalithic sites rewrites what we knew about kinship, mobility, and how monumental culture spread across Europe
A rare open-air site in the Afar Rift preserves stone tools, animal bones, and three partial human skeletons — each with a different story about how they ended up in the ground.
Thirty years of excavation at El Mirón have turned a limestone cave in Cantabrian Spain into one of the most complete records of human prehistory in Europe.
A new study combines controlled archaeological experiments with microscopic analysis to argue that Neanderthals used rhinoceros teeth as hammers and anvils during stone tool production.
