Expanding the Faunal Interpretation of the Cova Eirós (NW Iberia) Middle Paleolithic–Early Upper Paleolithic Record With ZooMS

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Cova Eirós archaeopaleontological site preserves the most comprehensive archaeostratigraphic sequence in the northwestern Iberian Peninsula, with an exceptionally rich record spanning from the Mousterian to the Upper Paleolithic. The extensive fragmentation of the faunal record and the rich taxonomic diversity at this site have limited the

The Le Rozel footprints: snapshots of Neandertal groups in the Late Pleistocene. A combined morphometric and experimental approach

Bulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2021
Hominin footprints represent brief moments of life and provide access to the locomotor and biological features of the individuals who left them. Because of the particular time scale that they represent and the information they provide, they make it ...

A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco Réévaluer la préhistoire du Maroc, du Middle Stone Age au Later Stone Age

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.

A Note On The Denisova Cave mtDNA Sequence [PDF]

, 2010
The recently published Altai fossil sequence from Denisova Cave was purported to be so different from anatomically modern humans, yet have the physiological landmarks of that species designation. When the published sequence was examined it was found that

Direct radiocarbon dating and stable isotopes of the neandertal femur from Les Rochers-de-Villeneuve (Lussac-les-Châteaux, Vienne)

Bulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2006
Direct radiocarbon dating of the Neandertal femoral diaphysis from the Rochers-de-Villeneuve (Lussac-les-Châteaux, Vienne) has yielded an age of 45,200 ± 1,100 14C years B.P. (OxA-15257) [48,455 ± 1,878 cal. years B.P.], and stable isotope values of δ13C

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].

The composition of a Neandertal social group revealed by the hominin footprints at Le Rozel (Normandy, France)

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance The limited knowledge we have of the size and composition of Neandertal social groups is usually based on indirect approaches using archeological or osteological data.

The Early Upper Palaeolithic in British caves: problems and potential Le Paléolithique supérieur ancien dans les grottes de Grande‐Bretagne : problèmes et potentiels

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Recent years have seen landmark progress in our understanding of early Homo sapiens occupation of Europe, owing to new excavations and the application of new analytical methods. Research on British sites, however, continues to lag. This is because of limitations inherent in existing cave collections, and limited options for new fieldwork at known sites.

The Role of Chemistry Across Disciplines From Humanities to Life Sciences in Understanding Complexity and Emergence

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 17, 20 April 2026.
This study explores the origins of life by linking prebiotic chemistry, the emergence of information‐carrying molecules such as RNA and proteins, and philosophical questions about consciousness. The study emphasizes the role of molecular evolution in the Central Dogma and provides insights into the chemical origins of biology and the basis of life's ...

125 years of exploration and research at Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK) 125 ans d'exploration et de recherches à Gough's Cave (Somerset, Royaume‐Uni)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...
