The Neandertal Progesterone Receptor [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2020 Abstract The hormone progesterone is important for preparing the uterine lining for egg implantation and for maintaining the early stages of pregnancy. The gene encoding the progesterone receptor (PGR) carries introgressed Neandertal haplotypes with two missense substitutions and a mobile Alu element.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016 The last decade has seen a significant growth of our knowledge of the Neandertals, a population of Pleistocene hunter-gatherers who lived in (western) Eurasia between ∼400,000 and 40,000 y ago. Starting from a source population deep in the Middle Pleistocene, the hundreds of thousands of years of relative separation between African and Eurasian groups ...

Neandertal and Denisovan retroviruses [PDF]
Current Biology, 2012 SummaryModern humans (Homo sapiens) last shared a common ancestor with two types of archaic hominins, Neandertals and Denisovans, roughly 800,000 years ago, and the population leading to modern H. sapiens separated from that leading to Neandertals and Denisovans roughly 400,000 years ago [1–4].

Neandertal clavicle length [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 Significance Neandertal clavicle length, relative to that of modern humans, has long been considered distinctive. It has been invoked with respect to their ecogeographic body proportions, thoracic shape, scapular posture and biomechanics, temporal labyrinthine shape, and ancient DNA, as well as their trait ...

Balancing selection on a regulatory region exhibiting ancient variation that predates human-neandertal divergence. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 Ancient population structure shaping contemporary genetic variation has been recently appreciated and has important implications regarding our understanding of the structure of modern human genomes.

Science, 1997 The recent discussion regarding Neandertal molecular studies (P. Kahn and A. Gibbons, Research News, 11 July, p. 176) suggests that other Neandertal and Cro- Magnon specimens should be examined for modern human mitochondrial haplotypes to further test multiregionalism (1). A Neandertal sequence from another site would also corroborate the initial study

Prevalence of taurodontism: meta-analysis in recent humans and evolutionary perspectives
Homo, 2021 Taurodontism is a continuous anatomical variation of permanent and primary posterior teeth represented by an enlargement of the pulp cavity. A high prevalence of the trait is reported in Homo neanderthalensis remains.

No evidence of Neandertal mtDNA contribution to early modern humans.
PLoS Biology, 2004 The retrieval of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences from four Neandertal fossils from Germany, Russia, and Croatia has demonstrated that these individuals carried closely related mtDNAs that are not found among current humans.

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Background Small insertions and deletions occur in humans at a lower rate compared to nucleotide changes, but evolve under more constraint than nucleotide changes. While the evolution of insertions and deletions have been investigated using ape outgroups,
