Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Classical bioethics examines moral issues in terrestrial medicine and the life sciences. According to Konrad Szocik, space bioethics merely relocates those questions to harsher environments. We argue that this view is incomplete: space bioethics is a genuinely original domain.

Boreas, EarlyView.The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

Notes on the Idea of a Species: A Look at Human/Neandertal Interbreeding [PDF]
, 2018 Unearthed within the limestone quarries that lie east of Dusseldorf in Germany, the first fossil to be recognized as an ancient hominin brought solid evidence to the table for starting to find answers to the question of where humans came ...

Paleogenomics. Genomic structure in Europeans dating back at least 36,200 years. [PDF]
, 2014 The origin of contemporary Europeans remains contentious. We obtained a genome sequence from Kostenki 14 in European Russia dating from 38,700 to 36,200 years ago, one of the oldest fossils of anatomically modern humans from Europe. We find that Kostenki

Boreas, EarlyView.Understanding the temperature variability of past interglacial cycles is essential to predict future climates. We present a new summer temperature reconstruction, based on the subfossil chironomid record from a small palaeolake adjacent to the Middle Palaeolithic site of Lichtenberg, northern Germany. The record spans from the Saalian late glacial over

A Window on the Genetics of Human Speech: The FOXP2 Gene [PDF]
, 2007 The development of human speech seems to be a species-specific and genetically determined capacity and is considered an extremely important step in the rise of modern humans, human culture and civilisation.

Assessing the preservation of cytosine methylation in ancient DNA from five prehistoric Native American populations [PDF]
, 2015 textCytosine methylation of CpG dinucleotides is an important epigenetic mark that regulates gene expression in humans. While methylation patterns in extant populations have been widely studied, few studies have attempted to analyze methylation in ...

A context for the last Neandertals of interior Iberia: Los Casares cave revisited.
PLoS ONE, 2017 Introduction and objectivesAlthough the Iberian Peninsula is a key area for understanding the Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition and the demise of the Neandertals, valuable evidence for these debates remains scarce and problematic in its interior ...

Lipoxygenase pathways in Homo neanderthalensis: functional comparison with Homo sapiens isoforms
Journal of Lipid Research, 2013 Lipoxygenases (LOX) have been implicated in biosynthesis of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators, and a previous report suggested compromised leukotriene signaling in H. neanderthalensis.

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,
