The Nanosecond Scientist
A BolesBlogs.com reader forwarded me a transcript and asked whether any of it holds up. A man is talking about human origins. He says Homo sapiens appeared out of nowhere. He says a missing link sits at the base of our species, and that the link is easy to find: hand any person's DNA to a scientist who works with CRISPR, ask whether the sample has been edited, and the answer arrives in a nanosecond. Yes. Edited. From there he moves to the identity of the editor, God or a visiting intelligence with advanced technology, and he closes by asking why Britain colonized America. Here is the short answer before the long one. Three of the speaker's sentences are accurate. One sentence is invented, and that invented sentence carries the entire argument. Everything downstream of it, the aliens, Dr. Moreau, the colony, the closing questions, rests on a laboratory result that has never happened and cannot happen. The combination deserves slow handling, because the arrangement recurs everywhere now, and the arrangement does more damage than the content. […] -
Neanderthals selected and reused bone tools more than 70,000 years ago in Spain
A new study of Valdegoba Cave in northern Spain shows how Neanderthals selected and shaped animal bones for work on stone tools. The findings add to evidence of planned tool use during the Middle Paleolithic. Researchers examined 38 bone fragments from Valdegoba, near Huérmeces in Burgos province...

A single Neanderthal-inherited amino acid change makes growth hormone receptors fire harder, and people carrying it today have more muscle, shorter jaw ramus height, and shorter tooth roots. Neanderthal biology, still running. 🧬🦴🔬

By now y’all’ve heard that there’s a lot of #Neanderthal DNA floating around in our collective genome but—#funfact—no Neanderthal DNA that’s been sequenced shows evidence of any crossover.
According to Ludovic Slimak, The Naked Neanderthal.
I’m reading his The Last Neanderthal now. About efforts to figure out how to place temporally some Neanderthal bone bits and teeth found in the Rhône Valley 10 years ago. #recommended #bookstodon -

Neanderthals and Homo sapiens shared culture for over 20,000 years, cave study suggests
Neanderthals and modern humans appear to have shared far more than the same landscape. A new study from a cave in southern Türkiye suggests both groups lived in strikingly similar ways and even shared symbolic traditions over thousands of years....

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦴👶 #Neanderthal #babies grew much faster than modern #humans, reaching toddler size by just 6 months old.
Researchers studying Amud 7, a 50,000 year old infant found in #Israel, found its limb #bones matched a 12 to 14 month old child. Researchers confirmed this across multiple Neanderthal #infants.

Europe’s last Neanderthals were genetically diverse and connected, study finds
A new genetic study has changed how researchers view the last Neanderthals in Western Europe. Evidence from 27 individuals found in present-day Belgium and France suggests these groups were more connected and more diverse than many scientists thought...

I just said it in a different comment and I'll say it here. Apparently there are strands of #DNA that have been broken in #GOP or there's just a plain old #Evolutionary #Split. I started calling psychic evolutionary split a few years ago. Group insanity? #Neanderthal happened. The beat goes on.

Payre fossil teeth reveal regional diversity among Europe’s earliest Neanderthals
A team led by the Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana studied fossil teeth from the Payre site in southeastern France. The material comes from nine teeth found in layers linked to the Middle Pleistocene, around 250,000 years ago...More information: https://archaeologymag.com/2026/05/payre-fossil-teeth-europes-earliest-neanderthals/

Scientist questions dating of world’s oldest cave art and Neanderthal paintings
A debate over the dating of prehistoric cave art has resurfaced after a French researcher challenged several widely publicized age estimates linked to some of the world’s oldest known paintings and hand stencils. The criticism focuses on uranium-thorium dating, often called U-Th dating, a method used to...More info: https://archaeologymag.com/2026/05/scientist-questions-dating-of-worlds-oldest-cave-art/

#Neanderthal #brains measure up to ours—literally
If you look at Neanderthal and #HomoSapiens #skulls, they’re visibly different: Neanderthal are lower and longer, ours tend to be rounder.
New results suggest there’s more variation in brain size among modern people than between Neanderthals and #Pleistocene Homo sapiens. And because brain size is actually a terrible way to predict cognitive capability, Neanderthals could have be more like us than previous studies claimed.

Oldest known dental treatment found in 59,000-year-old Neanderthal tooth from Siberia
A Neanderthal living nearly 59,000 years ago in southern Siberia appears to have undergone a form of dental treatment far earlier than scientists once expected. Researchers studying a molar from Chagyrskaya Cave in Russia found signs of deliberate drilling inside a painful cavity...More info: https://archaeologymag.com/2026/05/oldest-dental-treatment-in-neanderthal-from-siberia/
