Neandertal Cold Adaptation: Technological, Anatomical, and Physiological Responses to Cold Stress in One of Our Closest Fossil Relatives

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 37, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Neandertals occupied western Eurasia for over 100 000 years, repeatedly enduring climates that ranged from seasonally cold to glacial. This paper reexamines the question of Neandertal cold adaptation using updated fossil, physiological, and archaeological evidence.

Stratigraphy and geomorphology of Des‐Cubierta Cave (Pinilla del Valle, Madrid, Spain): Geological insights into a Neanderthal symbolic accumulation of large crania

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 958-976, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Des‐Cubierta Cave, part of the Calvero de la Higuera complex, is situated in the intramountainous upper valley of the Lozoya River within the Guadarrama Range. The cave's geological, palaeontological, and archaeological record reveals a complex history of sedimentary and anthropogenic processes spanning hundreds of thousands of years ...

Dating the Middle Palaeolithic of Fumane Cave by the combined ESR/U‐series method

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 862-875, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Fumane Cave, located in Northern Italy, is a major prehistoric site for understanding late Neandertal and early modern human behaviours. The cave contains a 12‐m‐thick stratigraphic sequence of Middle and Upper Palaeolithic layers, which have yielded a number of flint artefacts and faunal remains.

Early Neanderthal mandibular remains from Baume Moula‐Guercy (Soyons, Ardèche)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 3, Page 892-929, March 2025.
Abstract We provide an ontogenetically‐based comparative description of mandibular remains from Last Interglacial deposits (MIS 5e) at Baume Moula‐Guercy and examine their affinities to European and Middle Eastern Middle‐to‐Late Pleistocene (≈MIS 14—MIS 1) Homo.

The Upper Sedimentary Sequence of Grotta di Fumane, Northern Italy: A Micromorphological Approach to Study Imprints of Human Occupation and Paleoclimate Change

Geoarchaeology, Volume 40, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
ABSTRACT Fumane Cave contains a sequence of natural and anthropogenic deposits documenting key transitions in the Paleolithic of Northern Italy. Open questions remain concerning the stratigraphic integrity, the formation processes, postdepositional alterations, and paleoclimatic implications of the sedimentary record.
