Unfused transverse foramen of the atlas vertebra in the Neandertal lineage fossils
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2989-2997, October 2026.Abstract
In anatomically modern humans, the atlas can display an unfused transverse foramen (UTF) but currently the presence of UTF in the Neandertal lineage is uncertain due to a scarcity of prevalence studies and no exhaustive record of its presence throughout the entire hominin fossil record.Asier Gómez‐Olivencia, Mikel Arlegi, Juan José Valenzuela‐Fuenzalida, Mathias Orellana‐Donoso, Juan Luis Arsuaga, Juan A.

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2214-2239, October 2026.ABSTRACT
Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult Nicole D. S.

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3048-3062, October 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Snake venoms show variability in composition at all taxonomic levels, both within and between species, and the selective pressures underlying this variation have long been debated.Bálint Üveges, Samuel D.

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Background
Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune cholangiopathy with polygenic architecture and unknown aetiology. Evidence links Neanderthal‐derived genetic variants to autoimmune conditions; however, their contribution to PBC susceptibility remains unexplored.Alessio Gerussi, Chiara Caime, Harold Wang, Heather J.

Obesity Reviews, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT
Excess adiposity is not a recently developed problem but has existed since at least the upper Paleolithic, allowing evolutionary selection pressures to adapt the physiology of the pregnant woman and the feto‐placental unit for maternal and fetal protection.Gernot Desoye, Ursula Hiden, Evelyn Jantscher‐Krenn, Herbert Fluhr, Jonathan C.
