Some of the last surviving Neanderthals of northwestern Europe may have lived in large, well-connected groups, separate from other Neanderthals and early humans, according to research in Nature.

These Neanderthals, including at least 11 distinct individuals who lived less than 52,500 years ago, were found to be genetically diverse, challenging the notion that genetic deterioration was a major cause of their extinction.

Analyses of population cohorts found that young adults exhibited earlier systemic and organ-specific aging, which was associated with increased risk of early-onset cancer compared with older adults born decades earlier, according to a paper in Nature Medicine.

There is ample empirical evidence that humans are cooperative, but there is also evidence that humans can be distrustful. A Review in Nature Reviews Psychology reconciles this conflicting evidence by arguing that cooperation is more easily achieved between individuals than between groups.

3I/ATLAS, the third-known interstellar visitor to pass through our Solar System, may have formed in an ancient planetary system around 12 billion years ago. Isotopic evidence, presented in Nature, shows that the object has a composition unlike anything else in the Solar System.

One billion more people face at least one day of extreme heat stress each year compared with the 1970s, according to a paper in Nature Climate Change. The findings show that global heat stress is intensifying across events during the day, night, and during both the day and night.

Species risk to climate change depends in part on their capacity to evolve. A study in Nature Communications shows that the microclimates that native bees occupy in their nests shapes the way tolerance to heat evolves and species corresponding sensitivity to warming.
