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.

Using the Neandertal genome to study the evolution of small insertions and deletions in modern 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,

Pluridisciplinary evidence for burial for the La Ferrassie 8 Neandertal child

Scientific Reports, 2020
The origin of funerary practices has important implications for the emergence of so-called modern cognitive capacities and behaviour. We provide new multidisciplinary information on the archaeological context of the La Ferrassie 8 Neandertal skeleton ...

Neandertal-like traits visible in the internal structure of non-supranuchal fossae of some recent Homo sapiens: The problem of their identification in hominins and phylogenetic implications.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Although recently the internal structure of the non-supranuchal fossa of Homo sapiens has been described and compared to that observed in the Neandertal suprainiac fossa, until now it has not been examined in any modern human children. In this study, the

Denticulados y muescas: ¿para qué sirven? Estudio funcional de una muestra musteriense en cuarzo del Abrigo de Navalmaíllo (Pinilla del Valle, Madrid, España)

Trabajos de Prehistoria, 2017
Los denticulados y las muescas son dos de los elementos más frecuentes en la panoplia musteriense. El creciente interés por el estudio de estos tipos permite vislumbrar su complejidad.

3D virtual reconstruction of the Kebara 2 Neandertal thorax

Nature Communications, 2018
How different Neandertal morphology was from that of modern humans has been a subject of long debate. Here, the authors develop a 3D virtual reconstruction of the thorax of an adult male Neandertal, showing similar size to modern humans, yet with greater

The diet of young Neandertals from France, Pech de l’Azé I and Hortus II, reconstructed using dental microwear texture analysis

Bulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2023
Neandertal adults show differences in diet with respect to paleohabitat. To examine whether Neandertal children of France during Marine Isotope Stage 3 also show these dietary distinctions, the deciduous second molars of Pech de l’Azé I, from a cold ...

The reality of Neandertal symbolic behavior at the Grotte du Renne, Arcy-sur-Cure, France.

PLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundThe question of whether symbolically mediated behavior is exclusive to modern humans or shared with anatomically archaic populations such as the Neandertals is hotly debated.

Functional implications of Neandertal introgression in modern humans

Genome Biology, 2017
Background Admixture between early modern humans and Neandertals approximately 50,000–60,000 years ago has resulted in 1.5–4% Neandertal ancestry in the genomes of present-day non-Africans.

Tracking late Pleistocene Neandertals on the Iberian coast

Scientific Reports, 2021
Here, we report the recent discovery of 87 Neandertal footprints on the Southwest of the Iberian Peninsula (Doñana shoreline, Spain) located on an upper Pleistocene aeolian littoral setting (about 106 ± 19 kyr).
