Annual Review of Anthropology, 2023 In this article, I first provide an overview of the Neandertals by recounting their initial discovery and subsequent interpretation by scientists and by discussing our current understanding of the temporal and geographic span of these hominins and their taxonomic affiliation.

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.

Energetic Competition Between Neandertals and Anatomically Modern Humans.
PaleoAnthropology, 2009 The effects of climate on energy expenditure, which include climatic influences on human metabolic physiology and variation in the level of physical activity required for subsistence under different environmental conditions, have been the focus of a ...

Handedness in the Krapina Neandertals: A Re-Evaluation
PaleoAnthropology, 2015 Dominant right-handedness is well-established in European Neandertals and their likely ancestors with ratios indistinguishable from modern humans. Based on a previous analysis of oblique scratches into the enamel, the Krapina Neandertals represent a ...

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.

A high-coverage Neandertal genome from the Altai Mountains reveals population structure among Neandertals. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S AWe present a genome sequenced to ~37-fold genomic coverage from an approximately 110,000-y-old male Neandertal from Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains and analyze it together with previously published Neandertal genomes of high quality. We show that he

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].

Unfused transverse foramen of the atlas vertebra in the Neandertal lineage fossils. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract In anatomically modern humans, the atlas can display an unfused transverse foramen (UTF) but currently the presence of UTF in the Neandertal lineage is uncertain due to a scarcity of prevalence studies and no exhaustive record of its presence throughout the entire hominin fossil record.

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 ...
