Neandertals made the first specialized bone tools in Europe [PDF]
Modern humans replaced Neandertals ?40,000 y ago. Close to the time of replacement, Neandertals show behaviors similar to those of the modern humans arriving into Europe, including the use of specialized bone tools, body ornaments, and small blades.

Unique ramus anatomy for Neandertals? [PDF]
The ramus of Neandertal mandibles is said to show a suite of uniquely Neandertal character states that demonstrate the independent course of Neandertal evolution. This is the latest of numerous attempts to define cranial and mandibular autapomorphies for

Dental Morphological Affinities Among Late-Pleistocene and Recent Humans
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.

The recent discussion regarding Neandertal molecular studies (P. Kahn and A. Gibbons, Research News, 11 July, p. 176) suggests that other Neandertal and Cro- Magnon specimens should be examined for modern human mitochondrial haplotypes to further test multiregionalism (1). A Neandertal sequence from another site would also corroborate the initial study

How Neandertals inform human variation [PDF]
Since their first discovery, Neandertals have served as an out-group for interpreting human variation. Their out-group role has changed over the years because in spite of the fact that Neandertals are the most abundant of all fossil remains (or perhaps ...

Nuclear DNA from two early Neandertals reveals 80,000 years of genetic continuity in Europe [PDF]
Little is known about the population history of Neandertals over the hundreds of thousands of years of their existence. We retrieved nuclear genomic sequences from two Neandertals, one from Hohlenstein-Stadel Cave in Germany and the other from Scladina ...

The first Neanderthal remains from an open-air Middle Palaeolithic site in the Levant
The late Middle Palaeolithic (MP) settlement patterns in the Levant included the repeated use of caves and open landscape sites. The fossil record shows that two types of hominins occupied the region during this period—Neandertals and Homo sapiens. Until

Did Neandertals have large brains? Factors affecting endocranial volume comparisons
Objectives: Common wisdom in paleoanthropology is that Neandertals had bigger brains than recent humans. Here we tested the hypothesis that there is no difference in brain size between Neandertals and recent humans while accounting for methodological ...
