The date of interbreeding between Neandertals and modern humans. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 Comparisons of DNA sequences between Neandertals and present-day humans have shown that Neandertals share more genetic variants with non-Africans than with Africans.

Hand to mouth in a neandertal: right-handedness in Regourdou 1. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 We describe and analyze a Neandertal postcranial skeleton and dentition, which together show unambiguous signs of right-handedness. Asymmetries between the left and right upper arm in Regourdou 1 were identified nearly 20 years ago, then confirmed by ...

North African populations carry the signature of admixture with Neandertals. [PDF]
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.

From Neandertals to modern humans: New data on the Uluzzian. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Having thrived in Eurasia for 350,000 years Neandertals disappeared from the record around 40,000-37,000 years ago, after modern humans entered Europe.

Reduced purine biosynthesis in humans after their divergence from Neandertals
eLife, 2021 We analyze the metabolomes of humans, chimpanzees, and macaques in muscle, kidney and three different regions of the brain. Although several compounds in amino acid metabolism occur at either higher or lower concentrations in humans than in the other ...

The Neandertal Progesterone Receptor [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2020 Abstract The hormone progesterone is important for preparing the uterine lining for egg implantation and for maintaining the early stages of pregnancy. The gene encoding the progesterone receptor (PGR) carries introgressed Neandertal haplotypes with two missense substitutions and a mobile Alu element.
