Comparing the Performance of Double‐Stranded and Single‐Stranded DNA Libraries for Ancient Oral Microbiome Reconstruction

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT DNA library construction methods can affect the recovery of ancient DNA, thus influencing downstream analyses. While single‐stranded library preparation (ssLib) has been shown to outperform double‐stranded (dsLib) for highly degraded vertebrate host DNA, especially for samples older than 40,000 years, few studies have examined how library ...

Neandertal demise: an archaeological analysis of the modern human superiority complex.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Neandertals are the best-studied of all extinct hominins, with a rich fossil record sampling hundreds of individuals, roughly dating from between 350,000 and 40,000 years ago. Their distinct fossil remains have been retrieved from Portugal in the west to

A Genetic Risk Variant Associated With the Risk of Primary Biliary Cholangitis Is Inherited From Neanderthals

open access: yesLiver International, Volume 46, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune cholangiopathy with polygenic architecture and unknown aetiology. Evidence links Neanderthal‐derived genetic variants to autoimmune conditions; however, their contribution to PBC susceptibility remains unexplored.

Fibrous dysplasia in a 120,000+ year old Neandertal from Krapina, Croatia.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
We describe the first definitive case of a fibrous dysplastic neoplasm in a Neandertal rib (120.71) from the site of Krapina in present-day Croatia. The tumor predates other evidence for these kinds of tumor by well over 100,000 years. Tumors of any sort

Precise dating of the Middle-to-Upper Paleolithic transition in Murcia (Spain) supports late Neandertal persistence in Iberia

open access: yesHeliyon, 2017
The late persistence in Southern Iberia of a Neandertal-associated Middle Paleolithic is supported by the archeological stratigraphy and the radiocarbon and luminescence dating of three newly excavated localities in the Mula basin of Murcia (Spain).

Whole‐Genome Sequencing Pilot of the Central Asian Genomic Diversity Project Reveals Distinct Histories, Adaptation, and Introgression

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 53, 24 September 2026.
As a pilot phase of the Central Asian Genomic Diversity Project, whole‐genome sequencing of 166 individuals from 20 Central Asian and Afghan Hazara populations reveals fine‐scale substructure shaped by repeated trans‐Eurasian migration and admixture. Integrated analyses uncover post‐admixture adaptation, archaic introgression, and medically relevant ...

The Baboon as a Model to Study Human Health and Complex Disease

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 9, September 2026.
Baboons remain underappreciated as models of human biology and disease offering a distinct combination of biological and practical properties. In this review, we evaluate the baboon as a model for human complex diseases and make the case for broader use of baboons in translational research.

The Dentition of the Aurignacian Mandible Les Rois 2, France: New Data and Taxonomic Reassessment

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 191, Issue 1, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective This study provides new dental phenotypic data on the Aurignacian mandible Les Rois 2 (southwestern France). A former study of its dental morphology concluded that its taxonomic assignment to either Homo sapiens or Homo neanderthalensis was “uncertain” and could reflect a recent Neanderthal ancestry of this specimen.

Evaluating Rapid Extraction Methods for Recovering Ancient DNA From Archaeological Sediments

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
A modified Amicon‐based rapid DNA extraction protocol outperformed other rapid methods, recovering short DNA fragments from mock sediments within ~3 h. Application to archaeological sediments successfully recovered amplifiable DNA from ancient taxa. This rapid, portable, non‐hazardous approach establishes a premise for more informed sampling in time ...
