North African populations carry the signature of admixture with Neandertals.
PLoS ONE, 2012 One of the main findings derived from the analysis of the Neandertal genome was the evidence for admixture between Neandertals and non-African modern humans.

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives Rib cross‐sectional mineralized area provides valuable insights into mechanical loading and bone growth and remodeling. Given the scarcity of Early Pleistocene costal remains in the context of human evolution, we aimed to study the cross‐sectional anatomy of fossil ribs from that period and compare them to a modern human ontogenetic

Confessions of a Poverty Researcher: My Journey Through the Foothills of Scholarship
Australian Journal of Social Issues, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 236-246, June 2026.ABSTRACT This paper describes the key events, experiences and ideas that influenced the author's career as a poverty researcher. He describes how his early disillusion with economics was replaced by a spark of interest in social issues and how his migration from the UK to Australia in the mid‐1970s provided the impetus to begin what became a lifetime ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1463-1478, June 2026.ABSTRACT Human life history is derived compared to that of our closest living relatives, the great apes. It has been suggested that these derived traits are causally related to aspects of our ecology, social behaviour and cognitive abilities. However, resolving this requires that we know the evolutionary trajectory of our distinctive pattern of growth,

Opaque Social Instruments: A Cultural Evolutionary Approach to Pleistocene Symbolic Artifacts
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Prehistoric “symbolic” artifacts remain incompletely explained by semiotic models, which emphasize representational meaning but offer limited insight into how such materials emerged and spread across Pleistocene populations. This article develops a cultural evolutionary framework that reconceives early ornaments, pigments, figurines, and ...

Human Papillomavirus: Update in Bridging Basic Science to Clinical and Public Health Innovations
Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Human papillomavirus (HPV), a non‐enveloped, double‐strand DNA viral pathogen, is intricately linked with the onset of various cancers, including cervical cancer and head and neck cancers. The present paper delves into HPV's ancient recognition and significant milestones such as the discovery of its role in oncogenesis and the development of ...

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

Integrative Genomics Identifies Candidate Genes Underlying Trypanotolerance in Hybrid African Cattle
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Integrative genomics combines data from different omics sources to link genotypes and phenotypes with the aim of unravelling biological networks and pathways that undergird complex traits, particularly with respect to disease. In this respect, integrative genomics, leveraging population and functional genomic data, can be employed to ...

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