Neanderthal kids living in a French cave 250,000 years ago faced more disease and harsher winters than a human kid living in the same cave 5,000 years ago. The study, which used lead found in teeth, backs up the theory the theory that climate wiped out their kind.

Archaeologists find 300,000-year-old stone tools in Saudi Arabia, which at the time was a grassland dotted with lakes. Findings will help anthropologists better understand the role of environment—and the ability to adapt to challenging new landscapes—in shaping human evolution and global expansion.
