The shape of modern human noses may be partly determined by genetic material inherited from Neanderthals, according to a new study. Neanderthals were an ancient species who lived in Eurasia until their extinction about 40,000 years ago. But scientists believe they interbred with homo sapiens – meaning some of their DNA remains in modern-day humans.…

Ancient hunter-gatherers were thought to have a largely meat-based diet, but researchers have found that prehistoric people had a diverse diet in which plants featured heavily. Researchers used a scanning electron microscope to analyse nine samples…
