Sampling Biases and New Ways of Addressing the Significance of Trauma in Neandertals. [PDF]
There is a popular perception that trauma was quite frequent in Neandertals because of harsh environmental conditions and their strenuous lifestyle. Many well-known individual Neandertals exhibit injuries, but they are mostly well-preserved, male and old.

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 ...

Palaeoproteomic Deconvolution of Physical and Genetic Collagen Mixtures
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ClassiCOL_v2 uses a novel “peptide patching” framework that treats any collagen sample as a patchwork of peptide sequences derived from phylogenetically related species. This allows the algorithm to simultaneously resolve two previously intractable problems: multi‐species samples and/or database deficiencies.

Neandertal cannibalism and Neandertal bones used as tools in Northern Europe
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractAlmost 150 years after the first identification of Neandertal skeletal material, the cognitive and symbolic abilities of these populations remain a subject of intense debate. We present 99 new Neandertal remains from the Troisième caverne of Goyet (Belgium) dated to 40,500–45,500 calBP.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Neandertals are known to possess very distinctive traits in their bony labyrinth morphology, such as an inferiorly positioned posterior canal and a very low number of turns in the cochlea. Hence, the inner ear has been often used to assess the Neandertal status of fragmentary fossils.

The fossil record stays silent: Confusions and conundrums for hominin pelvis evolution
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The evolution of the hominin pelvis is commonly modeled as a series of stages driven largely by the requirements of bipedal locomotion, reproduction, thermoregulation, and pelvic floor muscular support. These patterns are complicated by variation in canal dimensions in relationship with different changes in overall pelvic breadths. To quantify

Anterior tooth-use behaviors among early modern humans and Neandertals.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Early modern humans (EMH) are often touted as behaviorally advanced to Neandertals, with more sophisticated technologies, expanded resource exploitation, and more complex clothing production.

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.

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.Abstract Evolutionary theory provides a fundamental framework for understanding human anatomy and health. However, evolution acceptance and conceptual understanding are distinct constructs that may not co‐vary. This study aimed to assess (1) evolution acceptance and (2) knowledge of human evolution in health sciences students.
