Payre fossils from Europe’s earliest Neanderthals reveal dynamic evolution shaped by climatic oscillations

The Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana (CENIEH) has led the international team behind a new study published in Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences exploring the complex evolution of Neanderthals in Europe. Based on the analysis of fossil teeth discovered at the archaeological site of Payre, in south-eastern France, the research provides new insights into the diversity and evolution of Neanderthal populations during the Middle Pleistocene, around 250,000 years ago.
