A new focus of the ‘interbreeding’ of Neanderthal and sapiens story is the ‘evolutionary advantage’ it created:
http://phys.org/news/2016-10-tools-key-evolutionary-advantages-ancient.html

… but it’s also being blamed for some STIs:
http://phys.org/news/2016-10-ancient-hominid-hanky-panky-stis.html

I think we mentioned the right-handed homo habilis study:
http://phys.org/news/2016   -10-earliest-evidence-fossil-right-handedness.html

It started with a study suggesting apes were more ‘like us’ than we thought:
http://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2016/10/14/497910044/apes-may-be-more-like-us-than-we-thought?sc=17&f=1007

… which suddenly was claiming (via headlines) that monkeys were purposely making sharp tools (which isn’t what the study actually observed):
http://phys.org/news/2016-10-monkeys-stone-flakes-humans-unique.html
Cf: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/wild-monkeys-unintentionally-make-stone-age-tools-180960837/

Not sure where to put this one … the impact of volcanic eruptions on early hominid migrations:
