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 ...

Middle Paleolithic complex technology and a Neandertal tar-backed tool from the Dutch North Sea
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance We report the discovery of a 50,000-y-old Neandertal tar-hafted flint tool found off the present-day Dutch coastline. The production of birch tar adhesives was a major technological development, demonstrating complex Neandertal technology ...

Measuring the shape. Performance evaluation of a photogrammetry improvement applied to the Neanderthal skull Saccopastore 1 [PDF]
, 2018 Several digital technologies are nowadays developed and applied to the study of the human fossil record. Here, we present a low-cost hardware implementation of the digital acquisition via photogrammetry, applied to a specimen of paleoanthropological ...

The genome of the offspring of a Neandertal mother and a Denisovan father
Nature, 2018 Neanderthals and Denisovans are extinct groups of hominins that separated from each other more than 390,000 years ago1,2. Here we present the genome of ‘Denisova 11’, a bone fragment from Denisova Cave (Russia)3 and show that it comes from an individual ...

The Population-Specific Impact of Neandertal Introgression on Human Disease
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2020 Since the discovery of admixture between modern humans and Neandertals, multiple studies investigated the effect of Neandertal-derived DNA on human disease and nondisease phenotypes. These studies have linked Neandertal ancestry to skin- and hair-related
