Recent research suggests that socio-cultural practices influenced the height difference between female and male individuals in northern Europe during the Early Neolithic period. Additionally, discoveries indicate that ancient human societies may have been more egalitarian than previously thought, with evidence of earlier art and construction activities. Furthermore, bioarchaeological data reveals the interplay between growth, diet, and population dynamics during the transition to farming in the central Mediterranean. New studies also propose that Neanderthals may have been morning people, with genetic variants inherited from them potentially increasing the likelihood of being early risers.
Are you an early bird? Genetic variants inherited from Neanderthals increase your propensity for being a morning person, researchers say. https://t.co/4T1fzOH8GM
Whether you’re a morning person has long been tied to personality, but new research suggests DNA inherited from our extinct Neanderthal cousins ups the chance we’re early risers. https://t.co/UxHrh7tHN4

In 2023, discoveries about how ancient humans lived came thick and fast – their societies may have been more egalitarian than we thought, and they were building and making art earlier than we previously knew 👇 https://t.co/PNKewJ1WmR
