Handedness in Neandertals from the El Sidrón (Asturias, Spain): evidence from instrumental striations with ontogenetic inferences. [PDF]
The developed cognitive capabilities for Homo sapiens seems to be the result of a specialized and lateralized brain, and as a result of this, humans display the highest degree of manual specialization or handedness among the primates.

The complete genome sequence of a Neandertal from the Altai Mountains [PDF]
We present a high-quality genome sequence of a Neandertal woman from Siberia. We show that her parents were related at the level of half siblings and that mating among close relatives was common among her recent ancestors. We also sequenced the genome of

The emerging consensus that the emergence of modern humans in the northwestern Old World involved temporally and geographically varying degrees of admixture between Neandertals and early modern humans within the early Upper Paleolithic provides the ...

The Neandertal Progesterone Receptor [PDF]
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 landscape of Neandertal ancestry in present-day humans [PDF]
Analyses of Neandertal genomes have revealed that Neandertals have contributed genetic variants to modern humans1–2. The antiquity of Neandertal gene flow into modern humans means that regions that derive from Neandertals in any one human today are ...

Exploring the role of changing climates in human evolution is currently impeded by a scarcity of climatic information at the same temporal scale as the human behaviors documented in archaeological sites. This is mainly caused by high uncertainties in the

Human bony labyrinth is an indicator of population history and dispersal from Africa. [PDF]
The dispersal of modern humans from Africa is now well documented with genetic data that track population history, as well as gene flow between populations.

Anterior tooth-use behaviors among early modern humans and Neandertals.
Early modern humans (EMH) are often touted as behaviorally advanced to Neandertals, with more sophisticated technologies, expanded resource exploitation, and more complex clothing production.

It is usually assumed that modern language is a recent phenomenon, coinciding with the emergence of modern humans themselves. Many assume as well that this is the result of a single, sudden mutation giving rise to the full modern package.
