Comparing the Performance of Double‐Stranded and Single‐Stranded DNA Libraries for Ancient Oral Microbiome Reconstruction
Molecular 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 ...Keri Burge, Irina M.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009 Western Eurasia yielded a rich Middle (MP) and Late Pleistocene (LP) fossil record documenting the evolution of the Neandertals that can be analyzed in light of recently acquired paleogenetical data, an abundance of archeological evidence, and a well-known environmental context.openaire +3 more sourcesA Genetic Risk Variant Associated With the Risk of Primary Biliary Cholangitis Is Inherited From Neanderthals
Liver 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.Alessio Gerussi, Chiara Caime, Harold Wang, Heather J.

PaleoAnthropology, 2011 Though the earliest evidence for the use of fire is a subject of debate, it is clear that by the late Middle Paleolithic, Neandertals in southwest France were able to use fire.Dennis M.

American 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.Jérôme Isle de Beauchaine, Gaël Becam, Florent Détroit, Fernando Ramirez Rozzi, Dominique Grimaud‐Hervé, Christine Verna +5 morewiley +1 more sourceEvaluating Rapid Extraction Methods for Recovering Ancient DNA From Archaeological Sediments
Environmental 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.

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT
This paper reconceptualizes fashion as a deep‐time system of bodily communication rather than a byproduct of modern consumer societies. We define fashion as a socially transmitted system of bodily display in which patterned variation occurs within shared conventions of appearance.Francesco d'Errico, Solange Rigaudwiley +1 more sourceImpacted Bones: Can Extant Primates Help Identify Tool Use in Early Hominins?
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT
Despite recent advances pushing back the earliest record of tool use, how and when it first emerged in hominins, and the extent to which it featured amongst the numerous co‐existing species, remain critical questions in paleoanthropology. In addition to analyzing fossils and lithic toolkits, novel strides in understanding this might be made by Rachel M. Hurwitz, Katarina Almeida‐Warren, Susana Carvalho, Thomas A.
