[HEADING=2][SIZE=7]The Year in Neanderthals[/SIZE][/HEADING]
They drew with crayons, possibly fed on maggots and maybe even kissed us: Forty millenniums later, our ancient human cousins continued to make news.

Neanderthals, who flourished across Eurasia for hundreds of thousands of years before vanishing around 40,000 years ago, had a notable return to the scientific spotlight in 2025.

More than a dozen high-profile scientific studies explored all sorts of aspects of their existence, from their love lives (they probably kissed Homo sapiens) to potential flaws in their red blood cells that may have hastened their decline.

Barely three decades ago, these ancient hominids were still being widely depicted as knuckle-dragging brutes that were too dimwitted for moral or religious concepts, probably lacking language and behaviorally less advanced than modern humans. The picture changed considerably in 2010 after the Max Planck Institute [published the complete Neanderthal genome]('https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1188021'), which revealed that people of European or Asian descent possess as much as 4 percent Neanderthal DNA, indicating extensive, past interbreeding between the two hominid groups.

Joao Zilhão, an archaeologist at the University of Lisbon, noted, with a trace of sarcasm, that the push to classify Neanderthals as a separate species frequently arises from a reluctance, especially among geneticists, to fully accept them as a geographically distinct, but interbreeding, branch of humanity.

“There are lots and lots of geneticists, many more than there are archaeologists,” he said. “Doing research on this or that molecule is much less time-intensive than excavating an archaeological site and studying what was found there.”

Since the mid-1990s, Dr. Zilhão has argued that there was no significant cognitive or cultural gap between Neanderthals and modern humans. His fieldwork in Spain indicates that Neanderthals independently fashioned cave art and jewelry, such as decorated seashells, between 65,000 and 115,000 years ago, tens of thousands of years before similar finds linked to Homo sapiens in Africa or their arrival in Europe. Dr. Zilhão proposes that the shared capacity for symbolic thought points to a history of gene flow and cultural diffusion between the two groups, rather than Homo sapiens being uniquely sophisticated.

The Times asked Dr. Zilhão to share his perspective on the year’s most newsworthy Neanderthal-related projects.

[HEADING=1]The parent trap[/HEADING]
In 1931, archaeologists discovered the 140,000-year-old skeletal remains of a child, most likely a girl between the ages of 3 and 5, at the Skhul Cave on Mount Carmel in Israel. A new study in the journal [L’Anthropologie]('https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0003552125000366?via%3Dihub') found that the child may have been a hybrid, with one parent a Homo sapiens and the other Neanderthal. This would push back the date for when these groups mixed by some 90,000 years and indicate that they interacted earlier and more deeply than thought.

Under the direction of Israel Hershkovitz from Tel Aviv University and Anne Dambricourt-Malassé of the French National Center for Scientific Research, paleoanthropologists digitally reconstructed the skull and jaw of the child using CT scans and 3-D mapping technology. Comparing these models with those of other Neanderthal and early Homo sapiens children, they discovered a compelling fusion of features: The part of the skull housing the brain resembled that of a modern human, while the jaw and inner ear structures were similar to those found in Neanderthals. The findings suggest that the unique combination of traits points to a long-term intermingling in the Middle East, not just isolated encounters.

This evidence challenges the notion that Neanderthals were rapidly replaced by modern humans, and that human evolution was solely defined by conflict. Instead, the two hominid groups appear to have been intimately connected, such that local Neanderthal populations were gradually absorbed into larger Homo sapiens groups, Dr. Hershkovitz argues. This supports the paleodeme theory, which views both groups as part of one fluid evolutionary lineage.

Dr. Hershkovitz contends that lumping all early humans into one species group hides important details about why some traits stuck around while others vanished, and why mixed individuals, like the Skhul hybrid, appeared when they did. Sticking to a single-species model might seem less complicated, he added, but it risks simplifying the fossil record too much, losing the real story of evolution, and making it harder to understand how different human groups interacted and changed over time.

Despite the physical evidence, the classification of the Skhul child remains contentious. To Dr. Zilhão, the extent of interbreeding suggests that Neanderthals and Homo sapiens should be considered one species. Dr. Hershkovitz, however, contends that persistent physical differences between the groups, spanning time and geography, justify having separate categories. While both experts agree that DNA analysis could clarify the child’s genealogy, Dr. Zilhão noted that the fossil’s age and location make recovering such data unlikely.

[HEADING=1]A truer Paleo diet[/HEADING]
Neanderthals were far from simple scavengers, several findings this year revealed.

A study in [Quaternary Science Reviews]('https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0277379125003749') detailed how Neanderthals in modern-day Serbia were elite hunters, executing daring, commando-style ambushes and dramatic cliff drives to corner wild goats in treacherous terrain. Fifty thousand to 70,000 years ago, in what is now Israel, neighboring Neanderthal groups practiced distinct, culturally transmitted methods for butchering animals, according to research published in [Frontiers in Environmental Archaeology]('https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/environmental-archaeology/articles/10.3389/fearc.2025.1575572/full'). And in a paper in [Science Advances, scientists working]('https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adv1257') a site in Germany found that Neanderthals were extracting marrow fat from bones 125,000 years ago, long before early Homo sapiens were doing anything similar.

“Of course they did,” Dr. Zilhão said. “Why not?”

The Neanderthal diet was long thought to have been heavy on large game, a conclusion drawn from analyzing nitrogen isotopes in their bone collagen. But a study published in [Science Advances]('https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adt7466') suggests that the same data could also point to a more varied, omnivorous diet that included insects.

Melanie Beasley, who is a biological anthropologist at Purdue University in Indiana and the study’s lead author, proposed that maggots, which convert lean protein into fat, offered a nutrition-rich, abundant, easily procurable food source when times were tough. She likened munching on fly larvae to eating candy corn (and advised against dwelling on the comparison).

Dr. Zilhão said that Neanderthals were likely to have had a flexible diet and adapted their eating habits to the food options found throughout their extensive range, which stretched from Gibraltar to Siberia. The notion of Neanderthals as exclusively hyper-carnivores, he added, was “a dumb, nonsensical proposition.”

[HEADING=1]The brightest crayon[/HEADING]
Archaeologists, led by Francesco d’Errico at the University of Bordeaux in France, analyzed 16 ocher fragments found across Neanderthal sites in Crimea and mainland Ukraine, dating as far back as 100,000 years ago. The study, detailed in [Science Advances]('https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adx4722'), highlighted three items that showed clear evidence of having been intentionally shaped and used for drawing. One remarkable discovery was a two-inch yellow “crayon” from roughly 42,000 years ago, which microscopic analysis showed had been repeatedly sharpened, indicating that it was likely a valued tool. The implement had clearly been modified through grinding and scraping.

Dr. d’Errico argued that the crayon must be attributed to Neanderthals rather than modern humans: It was found in a site known to have been occupied by Neanderthals, and preceded the era when Homo sapiens were widely accepted to have arrived in that area. Researchers called the artifact a crayon, he said, based on its function and specific wear patterns, which strongly confirmed its use for marking a surface, possibly skin or rock. Tiny signs of friction and applied pressure, not just the object’s shape alone, suggested it had been used as an artistic tool.

“Further proof that Neanderthals engaged in the symbolic use of colorants,” said Dr. Zilhão, who has frequently collaborated with Dr. d’Errico.

[HEADING=1]Kissing cousins[/HEADING]
The genetic and physiological evidence indicate that Neanderthals and Homo sapiens interbred. Now, research led by Matilda Brindle, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Oxford, suggests that these encounters also likely involved kissing.

The study, published in [Evolution and Human Behavior]('https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1090513825001370'), found that both groups shared specific oral bacteria that diverged long after their evolutionary split, indicating what Dr. Brindle called ”prolonged engagement and saliva swapping.”

She and her colleagues maintain that smooching is not a contemporary cultural development but a deeply rooted primate trait that originated between 21.5 million and 16.9 million years ago. The researchers began by examining the ritual across different ape species. They defined the act prosaically, if not clinically, as “nonaggressive, mouth-to-mouth contact” independent of feeding. “Unfortunately, there are no fossils of gorillas locking lips,” Dr. Brindle said.

The team observed platonic kissing (for affection and reconciliation) in chimpanzees and orangutans and sexual kissing (for arousal) in bonobos. “We watched loads of video footage of apes having a snog,” Dr. Brindle said. “There was quite a lot about bonobo tonguing going on, and that wasn’t even the worst of it.”

The team then used Bayesian modeling to reconstruct the evolutionary history of kissing. Their hypothesis: Despite the potential risk of spreading pathogens, kissing endured as an evolutionary advantage because it enabled individuals to strengthen social ties and subconsciously assess a potential partner’s health. “We’ve all been there,” Dr. Brindle said. “You kiss someone and suddenly realize, ‘Oh, actually, this isn’t going to work.’ It’s a try-before-you-buy situation.”

Canoodling between hominids shouldn’t come as a shock, Dr. Zilhão said, given how widespread the behavior is across species. “Monkeys do it, giraffes do it, polar bears do it and — surprise, surprise — Neanderthals did it, too. Amazing. Who would have thought?”

Too bad the cheapest apartment in this space would way outrun my net worth. Maybe I should call Mahmdummy to see if he can lean on the developers to make it affordable for me. Because I really want to overlook the avenues from my apartment terrace in one of the most iconic landmarks in NYC. It's just so shameful that a simple diesel mechanic can't live in a place he's supported for so long.

Sarcasm and political bull$#it aside...

How great would it be to step out on that terrace in a bathrobe with a cup of coffee overlooking Gotham in and just bask in the moment?

Yeah, WOW.

[HEADING=2]Texas A&M, Under New Curriculum Limits, Warns Professor Not to Teach Plato[/HEADING]
The university is reviewing courses under new rules restricting teaching about race and gender. Administrators told a philosophy professor to cut some lessons on Plato to comply.

The first time I saw one of these Doggie Strollers was about 13 years ago in Bah Hahbah. I was, and am still, totally disgusted in how we've taken the descendants of the noble wolf, Canis lupus, and morphed it to Canis domestics wimpius. Don't get me wrong, a stroller is fine for a convalescing or disabled puppy, but as a matter daily routine for a healthy, mobile dog, it's ridiculous...
[HEADING=2][SIZE=7]Forget the Cynics. Here’s Why You Should Get Your Dog a Stroller.[/SIZE][/HEADING]
People might ridicule my choice of pet transportation, but it changed Darla’s life — and made me a better person.

I admit it: I’m a dog-stroller person. I’m also self-aware enough to know how silly it looks. I clock the side-eyes when I am pushing my Shih Tzu, Darla, down the street. I am very aware of the moms with baby strollers who look at me like “Are you kidding?” and the smirkers who assume that I must be some kind of cartoon villain who spoon-feeds her dog filet mignon from a crystal goblet. (I don’t, to be clear.) I am aware of the sentiment in the least charitable corners of the internet that putting a dog in a stroller is a sign of a mental disorder. I try to stay out of those corners.

It all started with my neighbor putting a Little Mermaid baby stroller in the recycling area in our building. It was a cheap, foldable thing. My husband, Mark, thought it would be funny to plop Darla in it for a cute photo op. As soon as she was deposited, her entire body melted into the seat, and she wore a contented expression that we had never seen in the year or so since we adopted her. “Uh-oh,” we said to each other.

We were still getting to know Darla. We had won her in a contest — sort of. Early in the pandemic, when we were all working from home, my mom called me one morning to insist that I turn on the TV: It was pet-adoption week on “Live With Kelly and Ryan,” and the hosts were hoisting up a confused-looking little black fluffball. My mom told us that Mark and I should adopt her. “Mom,” I said, “isn’t this a national TV show? I’m sure they get like a million applications.” But I filled one out anyway — pretty well, apparently. A few days later, Darla was ours.

Mark and I quickly discovered that the one weird thing about Darla (all dogs have at least one weird thing) is that she walks really slowly. Like, turtle slow. There’s nothing wrong with her; she’s just leisurely. Darla had belonged to backyard breeders and birthed at least two litters. When they were done with her, they gave her away. I wanted to let her putter around as she pleased, but this presented some problems. There’s a lovely park a few blocks away, but Darla walked so slowly that by the time we got there, it was usually time to turn around and go home. Wouldn’t it be great, Mark and I thought, if we could high-tail it to the park with plenty of time to romp around? Now, mermaid stroller in hand, the world opened up to us. As we rolled Darla out of the building for the first time, we saw our future.

At first we were happy just using “the Ariel,” as we called the stroller. Then one day I was in Target, and I saw someone pushing an actual stroller made for dogs. She was loading items into the stroller next to her contented pup. The multitasking, the efficiency, the ability to not leave a dog home alone and bored all day — I wanted all those things. Seventy-five dollars later, my transformation was complete. I posted a picture on Instagram of Darla’s big round eyes peeking out of her shiny new throne. “IT’S HAPPENING,” I wrote.

The stroller’s many practical benefits quickly became obvious. I could wheel her all over town while doing errands, and the stroller had enough room to fit her and a full bag of groceries. There was another storage compartment underneath — great for taking packages to the post office. In summertime, we packed the stroller with supplies and picnicked in the park, our iced coffees clinking like wind chimes along the way, snug in their cup holders. In winter, we didn’t have to worry about sidewalks covered with paw-stinging rock salt. The stroller gave me a way to understand what Darla wanted. Whenever she got tired of walking, she did little hops up against the stroller and I would heave her in.

For every onlooker who scoffs, there’s another who gets a real kick out of her. Children are endlessly fascinated. Construction workers are smitten. Old ladies fawn over her. Sometimes friends and neighbors will ask me in hushed tones, “Should I get one?” Yes, I say. Go easy on yourself. Life is hard enough.

The assumptions that the stroller cynics make — that you can bestow “too much” affection on pets, that it’s “overly” indulgent, that coddling your pets is somehow bad for them — don’t make sense to me. It’s just functional and compassionate. No one is seriously [replacing children with pets]('https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/world/birthrates-falling-dont-blame-dogs.html?smid=url-share'). (And if they are, so what?) And unlike with children, spoiling your pets won’t make them grow up to be jerks.

The best thing about the stroller, though, is that it was an invitation to our neighbors to stop and talk with us. Mark delighted in regaling Darla’s admirers with the story of her adoption. He would pull out his phone on the street, in the park, in an elevator, to show his unsuspecting victims screenshots of Kelly Ripa holding Darla aloft like the Lion King, while I rolled my eyes, laughing at his shtick and chiming in with my parts.

On July 5, a few years after we adopted Darla, a terrible thing happened. Mark died of complications from lung cancer. It was unexpected, and I was in shock. In the months of my post-trauma haze, the only times I could muster the ability to leave the house was to walk Darla. I wheeled her to the park daily, and we sat by the East River. She likes watching the boats go by. I do two things every single day: I miss Mark, and I walk around the city with my dog in a stroller. People smile at us, and I smile back. I forgive the ones who snicker. You never know what someone’s going through.

I guess well-endowed ski jumpers have a distinct aerodynamic disadvantage...

[HEADING=2][SIZE=7]Norway ski jumping coaches suspended 18 months over suit-altering scandal[/SIZE][/HEADING]
The International Ski and Snowboard Federation’s (FIS) ethics committee has suspended two Norwegian ski jumping coaches and the team’s suit technician for 18 months for manipulating suits during the sport’s world championships last year.

In a ruling Thursday following 11 months of investigation and litigation in a case that has become a cause for national shame in Norway and forced FIS to revamp its enforcement protocols, the committee decided to back the federation’s request for a punishment far harsher than previous penalties.

“The Panel has considered but rejected the option of imposing a low or even minimal sanction on the Respondents,” the ruling said. “In (the Panel’s) view now is indeed the appropriate time to put down a clear marker to what is not acceptable in (ski jumping).”

At the 2025 Nordic World Ski Championships in Trondheim, Norway, last March, the host nation won six ski jumping medals, three gold and three bronze, its best-ever performance at the event. The night before the final day of the championships, Magnus Brevig, the head coach of the Norwegian team, and Adrian Livelten, its suit technician, were caught on video inserting illegal non-elastic stitching into the crotch area of the suits of two star jumpers, including the reigning Olympic champion, Marius Lindvik, after the suits had already passed inspection.

The stitches essentially served to make the crotch area of the suits larger, smoother and more aerodynamic, allowing the jumpers to fly farther than the competition. Thomas Lobben, the team’s assistant head coach at the time, was not on the video, but later confessed to being a part of the conspiracy, which also involved manipulating the suit of Johann André Forfang, who was part of the Norwegian mixed team that won gold at the world championships.

Lindvik, 27, and Forfang, 30, claimed ignorance. The coaches backed those claims, and the athletes received suspensions of just three months, which they were able to serve during the summer. They are expected to compete in the Olympics next month. Forfang won a team gold and individual silver at the 2018 Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

The saga has been especially painful for Norway, a country with a reputation for rule-following and winter sports dominance, winning more Winter Olympic medals than any other nation. The revelations struck at the heart of the country’s national identity.

The ruling represented a significant win for FIS. The coaches argued for months that their behavior was in keeping with a sport where pushing up to the very edge of the rules, and sometimes stepping over the lines, is a part of the culture. Previous violations in the sport had been met with such light penalties, they argued, that they were not aware that heavy sanctions were even possible.

That, the ruling said, “comes perilously close to saying, in the Panel’s view unattractively, that the Respondents were prepared to take the risk to achieve the best result for the Norwegian team because, even if detected, the sanction would be minimal.”

[HEADING=2][SIZE=7]No Link Between Acetaminophen in Pregnancy and Autism, a New Study Finds[/SIZE][/HEADING]
The review looked at more than three dozen studies and found no evidence that acetaminophen increased the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in children.

A scientific review of 43 studies on acetaminophen use during pregnancy concluded that there was no evidence that the painkiller increased the risk of autism or other neurodevelopmental disorders.

“We found no clinically important increase in the risk of autism, A.D.H.D. or intellectual disability,” Dr. Asma Khalil, a professor of obstetrics and maternal fetal medicine at St. George’s Hospital, University of London, and the lead author of the report, said at a news briefing. The study was published on Friday in the British medical journal The Lancet.

Acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, remains “the first-line treatment that we would recommend if the pregnant women have pain or fever in pregnancy,” Dr. Khalil said.

Studies that have examined a possible link between acetaminophen in pregnancy and a risk of neurodevelopmental disorders have produced conflicting data, with some finding no connection and others finding small increases in risk.

The new review comes after President Trump told pregnant women during a news conference in September to “tough it out” and “fight like hell” not to take Tylenol, because he said the painkiller could cause autism in children. The message was delivered as part of a broader campaign by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to try to identify the causes behind rising autism rates among children in the United States, zeroing in on the unproven risks of acetaminophen and long-discredited theories that vaccines cause autism.

[Medical groups]('https://www.smfm.org/news/smfm-response-to-administration-announcement-on-acetaminophen-use-during-pregnancy-and-autism') [worldwide]('https://www.who.int/news/item/24-09-2025-who-statement-on-autism-related-issues'), including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, quickly [disputed]('https://www.acog.org/clinical/clinical-guidance/practice-advisory/articles/2025/09/acetaminophen-use-in-pregnancy-and-neurodevelopmental-outcomes') the president’s statements. They argued that doctors already advised their pregnant patients to use acetaminophen judiciously, and cautioned that untreated fevers during pregnancy could cause health problems for the mother and the baby.

Because acetaminophen passes into the brain and also crosses the placenta during pregnancy, scientists have been researching its possible effects on fetal brain development for more than a decade.

It has been difficult to draw firm conclusions, in part because of limitations on how scientists can study the question. No randomized, controlled clinical trials — the gold standard in medical research — have been conducted, because of ethical issues regarding research on pregnant women.

Another barrier is just how ubiquitous acetaminophen is. Other painkillers are known to cause serious harms during pregnancy, so acetaminophen has long been recommended as the first-line treatment. And because it is available over the counter, it is difficult for scientists to track how much women are using it and when.

A [scientific review]('https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12940-025-01208-0'), published last August by researchers at Harvard and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and cited by Mr. Trump’s health advisers in September, concluded that there was evidence for a link between acetaminophen and autism.

But some of the studies included in that review did not account for underlying factors that might be driving the connection, Dr. Khalil said. For example, women typically take acetaminophen because of health issues during their pregnancies, including infections and fevers, and those health problems themselves can increase the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders.

The new review excluded any studies that did not account for such possible confounding factors. And it gave more weight to studies that tried to account for the role of genetics, comparing siblings born to the same mother. Genetics is known to be a major contributor to autism risk.

“These were all attempts, really, to derive the evidence from the good-quality studies,” Dr. Khalil said. The sibling studies were the most rigorously designed, she said, because they take into account shared genetic factors and shared family environment.

One [major sibling study]('https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2817406') published in 2024 examined electronic health records from nearly 2.5 million children in Sweden, finding a small association between women who used acetaminophen and the incidence of autism, A.D.H.D. and intellectual disability. But when the researchers did a subsequent analysis comparing siblings, in which one was exposed to acetaminophen in the womb and one was not, they found no link.

Experts praised the new review for helping to better examine the different types of studies that had been done to date. But some also cautioned that questions still remained unanswered. For example, the review did not take into account how frequently pregnant women used acetaminophen, or at what doses.

Eivind Ystrom, a senior researcher at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, said he supported the conclusion of the new review “given our current knowledge.” But, he added, “at the same time, we should do more and better studies.” Dr. Ystrom [conducted]('https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37431475/') a study in 2021 suggesting that pregnant women who take acetaminophen for more than 29 days may be at higher risk of having children with A.D.H.D.

The new scientific review comes amid continuing legal battles over the potential link between acetaminophen and neurodevelopmental disorders. Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed in recent years against the makers of Tylenol and its generic versions by families who claimed that their children developed autism or A.D.H.D. after the mothers took the painkiller during pregnancy. The largest group of cases, filed in federal court, was dismissed in 2023 by a judge who cited the lack of credible scientific evidence. That decision is under appeal.

And in October, Ken Paxton, the Republican attorney general of Texas, [sued]('https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/health/tylenol-autism-texas-lawsuit.html') Johnson & Johnson, which manufactured the drug for decades, and Kenvue, a spinoff company that has sold it since 2023, claiming that the companies hid the risks of the drug on brain development of children.
