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.

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.

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 ...

Neandertal and Denisovan retroviruses [PDF]
Current Biology, 2012 SummaryModern humans (Homo sapiens) last shared a common ancestor with two types of archaic hominins, Neandertals and Denisovans, roughly 800,000 years ago, and the population leading to modern H. sapiens separated from that leading to Neandertals and Denisovans roughly 400,000 years ago [1–4].

Neandertals on the beach: Use of marine resources at Grotta dei Moscerini (Latium, Italy).
PLoS ONE, 2020 Excavated in 1949, Grotta dei Moscerini, dated MIS 5 to early MIS 4, is one of two Italian Neandertal sites with a large assemblage of retouched shells (n = 171) from 21 layers.

Neandertal clavicle length [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 Significance Neandertal clavicle length, relative to that of modern humans, has long been considered distinctive. It has been invoked with respect to their ecogeographic body proportions, thoracic shape, scapular posture and biomechanics, temporal labyrinthine shape, and ancient DNA, as well as their trait ...

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.

Dental Morphological Affinities Among Late-Pleistocene and Recent Humans
Dental Anthropology, 2000 The study uses analyses of Mean Measure of Divergence (MMD) to assess the affinities of ten populations representing early anatomically modern humans, Upper Paleolithic Europeans, recent modern humans, and Neandertals.
