Examining cut marks on animal bones revealed that Neanderthals living just 70km apart were choosing different animals to eat, or different cuts of meat from those animals. One group had a wider taste in meat, whilst another preferred their food to be dried or more rotten. This latter type of food is harder to prepare and so leaves more cut marks. <a href="https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/07/local-cuisine-was-on-the-menu-at-cafe-neanderthal/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">arstechnica.com/science/2025/0</span><span class="invisible">7/local-cuisine-was-on-the-menu-at-cafe-neanderthal/</span></a></p>

Haderach C. Kwisatch<p>"Scientists often estimate population size by looking at genetic diversity. In general, more variation in the genome suggests a larger group. But when Akey’s team applied their tool, IBDmix, they found that much of the apparent diversity in <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Neanderthal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Neanderthal</span></a> DNA actually came from genes inherited from modern humans, who had far larger populations. With this new insight, scientists lowered their estimate of the Neanderthal breeding population from about 3,400 individuals to roughly 2,400.Taken together, these findings help explain how Neanderthals disappeared from the fossil and genetic record around 30,000 years ago.</p><p>"I don't like to say 'extinction,' because I think Neanderthals were largely absorbed," said Akey. His idea is that Neanderthal populations slowly shrank until the last survivors were folded into modern human communities.…"<br><a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/07/250713032519.htm" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sciencedaily.com/releases/2025</span><span class="invisible">/07/250713032519.htm</span></a></p>
