Detailed examinations of human and neanderthal teeth have helped to highlight our differences.
The research has shown that modern humans take longer to reach full maturity than neanderthals did resulting in a longer childhood and may have been an evolutionary advantage that favoured us over neanderthals in the prehistoric world.
A sophisticated new examination of teeth from 11 Neanderthal and early human fossils shows that modern humans are slower than our ancestors to reach full maturity.
