Comparison of maxillary first molar occlusal outlines of Neandertals from the Meuse River Basin of Belgium using elliptical Fourier analysis

Anthropological Review, 2017
Several Neandertals derive from the karstic caves of the Meuse river tributaries of Belgium, including Engis 2, Scladina 4A-4 and Spy 1. These may form a group that is distinct in maxillary first molar occlusal outlines compared to La Quina 5 from ...

Neandertal versus Modern Human Dietary Responses to Climatic Fluctuations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The Neandertal lineage developed successfully throughout western Eurasia and effectively survived the harsh and severely changing environments of the alternating glacial/interglacial cycles from the middle of the Pleistocene until Marine Isotope Stage 3.

Neandertal demise: an archaeological analysis of the modern human superiority complex.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Neandertals are the best-studied of all extinct hominins, with a rich fossil record sampling hundreds of individuals, roughly dating from between 350,000 and 40,000 years ago. Their distinct fossil remains have been retrieved from Portugal in the west to

Postcranial evidence of cold adaptation in European Neandertals

, 1997
The low brachial and crural indices of the European Neandertals have long been considered indicative of cold adaptation. Recent work has documented lower limb/trunk ratios and deeper chests (anterior-posterior diameter) in European Neandertals than among

No evidence of Neandertal mtDNA contribution to early modern humans.

PLoS Biology, 2004
The retrieval of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences from four Neandertal fossils from Germany, Russia, and Croatia has demonstrated that these individuals carried closely related mtDNAs that are not found among current humans.

New discoveries of Middle Paleolithic human remains from the “Bau de l'Aubésier (Vaucluse, France)”

Bulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2001
Excavations in Middle Paleolithic levels at the “Bau de l’Aubésier (Vaucluse)” during 2000 yielded a maxillary molar and a partial mandible from late Middle Pleistocene levels, plus a maxillary molar from the early Late Pleistocene.

Handedness in Neandertals from the El Sidrón (Asturias, Spain): evidence from instrumental striations with ontogenetic inferences. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
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.

Paleobiological Perspectives on the Early Upper Paleolithic Human Transition in the Northwestern Old World

Bulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2001
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 ...

A Draft Sequence of the Neandertal Genome [PDF]

Science, 2010
Neandertals, the closest evolutionary relatives of present-day humans, lived in large parts of Europe and western Asia before disappearing 30,000 years ago. We present a draft sequence of the Neandertal genome composed of more than 4 billion nucleotides from three individuals.

Reconstructing Late Pleistocene paleoclimate at the scale of human behavior: an example from the Neandertal occupation of La Ferrassie (France)

Scientific Reports, 2021
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
