•From 'the last Neanderthal' to sacrifices in Peru: Our biggest archaeology stories of 2024
67% Informative
This past year was an exciting one for archaeology, with scientists using cutting-edge technology to learn about humans and our close extinct relatives.
An isotopic analysis of a child sacrifice site in Peru was the most read archaeology story on Live Science in 2024 .
An 18,000-year-old lineage traced back to the last ice age, which didn't end until 11,700 years ago .
Modern humans and Neanderthals mated for a 7,000-year-long "pulse" lasting generations.
It's unclear why they started and why they stopped.
We'll likely never know if this mingling was consensual or what Neanderthal -human relationships looked like.
