The integration of Neanderthal DNA into modern humans raises questions about our true evolutionary heritage.
A new hypothesis links the extinction of the Neanderthals to a magnetic pole reversal event 42.000 years ago, and shows what could happen again.
The discovery of spears and other wooden tools in Schöningen challenges the idea that stone was the dominant material in prehistory, suggesting a Wooden Age.

From Lieberman to Boë's challenge: research on the evolution of human language reveals a possible origin much more remote than we think.
The secret history of evolution: what caused humanity to come close to extinction, changing the evolutionary paths of Neanderthals and Denisovans.
Deep learning allows scientists to “comb through” the human genome, and leads to the discovery of a third ancestor in addition to Neanderthals and Denisovans. Who is?
