How Neandertals inform human variation [PDF]
, 2009 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 ...

The first Neanderthal remains from an open-air Middle Palaeolithic site in the Levant
Scientific Reports, 2017 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
, 2020 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 ...
