A preeminent geneticist hunts the Neanderthal genome to answer the biggest question of them all: what does it mean to be human? What can we learn from the genes of our closest evolutionary relatives? Neanderthal Man tells the story of geneticist Svante Pbo’s mission to answer that question, beginning with the study of DNA in Egyptian mummies in the early 1980s and culminating in his sequencing of the Neanderthal genome in 2009.

In recent years, the common perception of the Neanderthals has been transformed, thanks to new discoveries and paradigm-shattering scientific innovations. It turns out that the Neanderthals' behavior was surprisingly modern: they buried the dead, cared for the sick, hunted large animals in their prime, harvested seafood, and communicated with spoken language. Meanwhile, advances in DNA technologies are compelling us to reassess the Neanderthals' place in our own past.

Since the late 1980s the dominant theory of human origins has been that a "cognitive revolution" (c. 50,000 years ago) led to the advent of our species, Homo sapiens. As a result of this revolution our species spread and eventually replaced all existing archaic Homo species, ultimately leading to the superiority of modern humans. Or so we thought. As Clive Finlayson explains, the latest advances in genetics prove that there was significant interbreeding between modern humans and the Neanderthals.

So I may be in the Last Single Man Standing competition with my cousins, but five minutes around Kinsey was all it took to take myself out. Who cares about bragging rights when you’ve just found the woman you’re going to marry? Sure, she may work for my biggest competitor. Sure, she’s not dating right now. Sure, she’s my sister’s best friend and I’ve been sworn off her. But somehow she agrees to go on six fake dates to help me save face in this competition.

A comprehensive collection of all short stories, deleted scenes, and special features from the Knitting in the City series.

Thanks to The Book, Joe, Sam, and Fred are back in the Stone Age, where there aren't any math problems. But there's a tribe of hostile cavewomen, a hungry-looking saber-toothed tiger, a bone-rattling earthquake, and a woolly mammoth who wants to turn them into toe-jam. Worst of all, Joe, Sam...

A nuclear attack in the Persian Gulf wrongly implicates Jake Bayard. Everyone seems to be hunting for him. Bayard flees to Garm, an ice-age world full of sabertooths, dire wolves, mammoths, and Neanderthals. Unfortunately, Institute Homo habilises are also there: extraterrestrial, crafty, small, and deadly hominids. They've enslaved the Neanderthals to mine for dreaded alibite.

Cliff Hubbard is a huge loser. Literally. His nickname at Happy Valley High School is Neanderthal because he's so enormous - 6'6" and 250 pounds to be exact. Life in his trailer-park home has gone from bad to worse ever since his older brother's suicide. There's no one Cliff hates more than the nauseatingly cool quarterback Aaron Zimmerman. Then Aaron returns after a near-death experience with a bizarre claim: while he was unconscious he saw God, who gave him a list of things to do to make Happy Valley High suck less. And God said there's only one person who can help: Neanderthal.

Nel più freddo inverno dell'età preistorica, una famiglia della specie Neanderthal, costretta a migrare per sopravvivere, smarrisce la giovane figlia. Rimasta da sola tra le difficoltà di una terra inospitale, la ragazza incontra un giovane maschio di un'altra specie e sente che lui è la sola via per salvare la propria gente dall'estinzione. 40.000 anni dopo, l'archeologa Rosamund Gale è alle prese con il suo ultimo lavoro di scavo prima della maternità.

A Hardcore Podcast

Com'è cominciata la vita? Come si è evoluta per arrivare fino a noi? Come e perché è stata ricreata in laboratorio? La si può rendere immortale? Sono domande che non possiamo non farci. E a cui la scienza continua a dare risposte nuove e sorprendenti. Nel giro di pochi anni è cambiato tutto; oggi non solo il Dna si può estrarre e sequenziare con risultati assai affidabili ma questi studi aprono prospettive inimmaginabili.

A show about how our Neanderthal Ancestors influence our thought processes and characteristics. Take a journey with us as we probe into why what our Ancestors did millions of years ago, still has an influence on our modern mind.

Mike, Tobin, and Jordan started a podcast! Join in as they talk all things dude- from history and current events, philosophy, spirituality to jiu jitsu, hunting, and anything else they find interesting. And shenanigans. Lots of shenanigans! Listen in and enjoy the Enlightened Neanderthals!

I think about something, write a five to ten minute script, and read it between a brief intro and outro.

Neanderthals have developed a radically different civilization on a parallel Earth. A Neanderthal physicist, Ponter Boddit, accidentally passes from his universe into a Canadian underground research facility. Fortunately, a team of human scientists, including expert paleo-anthropologist Mary Vaughan, promptly identifies and warmly receives Ponter. Solving the language problem and much else is a mini-computer, called a Companion, implanted in the brain of every Neanderthal. But it can't help his fellow scientist back in his world, Adikor Huld, when the authorities charge Adikor with his murder.

Gary is a combat vet, published author, music writer, ordained reverend, husband of 32 years and a father. He talks about life, love, tragedy, depression, PTSD and everything in between. He talks about real life situations and real life applications. A little advice is thrown in too.

La aparición de los primeros restos de Neandertales supuso una revolución científica y un golpe a los mismos cimientos de los sectores religiosos más dogmáticos. La aparición de los primeros fósiles humanos en el valle de Neander, en 1856, supuso una auténtica revolución, tanto científica como en el resto de disciplinas.

Nel 1938 un'equipe di paleontologi italo-francesi trova i frammenti del cranio di un uomo di Neanderthal: in onore del grande, omonimo ciclista, l'ominide viene affettuosamente soprannominato "Bartali".
