A comprehensive analysis of long bone curvature in Neanderthals and modern humans using 3D morphometrics
Since their discovery Neanderthals were described as having a marked degree of anteroposterior curvature of the femoral shaft. Although initially believed to be pathological, subsequent discoveries of Neanderthal remains made femoral curvature as well as the lateral curvature of the radius to be …

Using 3-D Geometric Morphometric Techniques to Further Understand the Relationship Between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens
… has been a heated subject of debate since Neanderthals were first recognized. Neanderthals are either a distinctly separate species from Homo sapiens that were replaced by Homo sapiens without any genetic interaction, which supports the taxonomical title for Neanderthals as Homo …

Neanderthal and Modern Human Adaptations to Climate Change in Southwest Asia: Climate Reconstruction of Marine Isotope Stage 5 to 3 based on small mammal records from Shanidar Cave (Iraqi Kurdistan)
… sapiens (‘Modern Humans’) and the extinction of Neanderthals in Eurasia between 50,000 to 30,000 years BP (Higham et al. 2014). The exact causes of Neanderthal extinction are still widely debated, but one widely considered theory is that Neanderthals were less able to cope with rapid climate …

Les matières colorantes au début du Paléolithique supérieur : sources, transformations et fonctions
… insight into the way of life of the last Neanderthals. The Châtelperronian site of the “Grotte du Renne”, in Arcy-sur-Cure (Yonne), is a landmark. It was excavated beween 1949 and 1963 by André Leroi-Gourhan : Numerous colouring materials were discovered there, and Leroi-Gourhan developed …

Le faune del Paleolitico medio-superiore in Nord Italia: nuovi dati archeozoologici dal Riparo Mochi e dal Riparo Tagliente
… studied. During this period in Europe, the last Neanderthals were replaced by the first Anatomically Modern Humans (AMH). It is widely debated how and in what time frame this replacement occurred, and if, when, and where the two human species interacted with eachother. In order to understand the …

Patterns of Archaic Hominin DNA in Modern Human Genomes
… humans that is similar to the divergence time of Neanderthals. In a sample of 379 European and 279 East Asian genomes, I identify on average 1/4 of each individual's introgressed Neanderthal sequence, composing a total of 600Mb of the Neanderthal genome. I use characteristics of this sequence to …

The Distribution of Neanderthal Ancestry Across Populations And Within Genomes
… in time and space with archaic humans such as Neanderthals and Denisovans. We now know that modern and archaic humans interbred, and that modern human populations carry some amount of archaic ancestry. The complexities of this admixture history, however, have persisted as outstanding questions …

Genomic diversity and structure among South and East Asian human populations
… events included mating with other human species (Neanderthals and Denisovans) and the development of cultural practices as they arrived in other parts of the world. Asia is more diverse in terms of physical geography, cultures, and languages, which makes it an interesting region to study human …

Speleothem climate capture of the Neanderthal demise
… climatic zones and was the last refuge of the Neanderthals. The influence of climate changes on Neanderthal populations remains a mystery due to the lack of independently-dated high-resolution terrestrial records of past climate and environmental change from the Iberian Peninsula. The primary …

Biological evolution and population change in the European Upper Palaeolithic

THE EVOLUTION OF THE MODERN CONDITION THROUGH THE LENS OF NEURODEVELOPMENT DIVERSITY: INSIGHTS FROM A PARADIGMATIC REWIRING OF GENE REGULATION
… The recent availability of high-quality Neanderthals and Denisovans genomes has enabled the identification of human-derived genetic changes, yet their phenotypic consequences remain largely uncharted. While prior work has focused predominantly on protein-coding differences, the majority …

Strontium isotope tracing of prehistoric human mobility in France
Human mobility in recent history is well documented and often related to drastic external changes, including war, famine, and the discovery and exploration of new geographic regions and resources. Reconstruction of mobility patterns in prehistory is thus a crucial part of understanding the forces …
