These Neanderthals were isolated for more than 50,000 years

A fossilized Neanderthal discovered in a cave system in the Rhône Valley, France, represents an ancient and previously undescribed lineage that diverged from other currently known Neanderthals around 100,000 years ago and remained genetically isolated for more than 50,000 years.

Neanderthal remains recently discovered in a cave in France support well-known theory of why the Neanderthals became extinct, researchers behind a new study say.

The Neanderthals may have become extinct because of their isolated lifestyle

Compared with the gregarious nature of modern humans, Neanderthal communities appear to have been surprisingly insular, according to past research, keeping to themselves more often than not.

Neanderthals' social isolation may have sped up their extinction

A fossilized Neanderthal discovered in a cave system in the Rhone Valley, in southeastern France, has turned out to be the only representative of an ancient and previously undescribed lineage that separated from the rest of the known Neanderthals about 100,000 years ago and remained genetically isolated for more than 50,000 years. Genomic analysis indicates that the Neanderthal, nicknamed Thorin in reference to the Tolkien character, lived betwe…

Thorin’s DNA provides new clues about this ancient lineage. Thorin’s remains were found in 2015 at the Grotte Mandrin rock shelter in southern France near the Rhône River. He was given his nickna…
