Also coming along, thanks to two independent??teams of researchers, is the genome of the closest relative of all: the Neanderthal.

The Neanderthals held out for hundreds of thousands of years. A discovery published online by Nature last month suggests Neanderthals may have made their last stand in Gibraltar, on the southern...
