Atlas of cortical sulcal imprints on Pan endocasts

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This comprehensive atlas documents the frequency, position, and variability of cortical sulcal imprints across 21 extant Pan endocasts, providing the first quantitative baseline for comparative paleoneurology. This atlas serves as a reference for distinguishing ancestral from derived features in hominin brain evolution.

Use of red ochre by early Neandertals

open access: yes, 2012
The use of manganese and iron oxides by late Neandertals is well documented in Europe, especially for the period 60–40 kya. Such finds often have been interpreted as pigments even though their exact function is largely unknown.

Growing together: Developmental integration and modularity in the human talus–calcaneus complex

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigates morphological integration and trabecular bone development in the human talus–calcaneus complex during postnatal ontogeny. The two bones exhibit strong integration throughout development, with differing bone volume fraction trajectories presumably reflecting their distinct functional roles during bipedal gait acquisition ...

Neandertals... 150 Years Later

open access: yes, 2004
The place of Neandertals in modern human emergence has been a subject of debate since the first recognized Neandertal skeleton was discovered in 1856. This paper presents an overview of morphological, archaeological, and genetic evidence commonly used

Evolution, trial and error: neandertals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Pojava vrste Homo sapiens nije bila iznenadna niti dobro definirana u prostoru. Promjene su počele s ljudima poznatim kao arhaični sapiens koji su predstavljali prijelaznu formu koja se pojavila skoro nezamijetno u starom svijetu i postepeno se razvila u

Lipoxygenase pathways in Homo neanderthalensis: functional comparison with Homo sapiens isoforms

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2013
Lipoxygenases (LOX) have been implicated in biosynthesis of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators, and a previous report suggested compromised leukotriene signaling in H. neanderthalensis.

Mother of the Nation? The Digital Appropriation of Shanidar Z in Kurdish and Regional Identity Politics

open access: yesNations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how the reconstruction of Shanidar Z, a 75,000‐year‐old Neanderthal woman discovered in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, became a focal point for digital negotiations of identity, ancestry, and belonging. Drawing on 51 Facebook and YouTube posts and 17,126 associated comments in Kurdish, Arabic and English, the study ...

Retaining Models of Human Evolution After Repeated Falsifications—Why?

open access: yesNatural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.
Two 19th century paradigms of human evolution emerged: Humans are subdivided into isolated populations in an evolutionary tree, versus human populations interbreed (gene flow) with no isolates. The tree model has been rejected whenever tested since the 1970's, whereas gene flow consistently fits.

Did Neandertals Linger in Russia's Far North?

open access: yes, 2011
In this week's issue of Science , a research team claims that some of the last Neandertals may have taken refuge in the dark Arctic north rather than the sunny south as archaeological evidence has indicated.

What Is Space Bioethics?

open access: yesBioethics, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 558-564, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Classical bioethics examines moral issues in terrestrial medicine and the life sciences. According to Konrad Szocik, space bioethics merely relocates those questions to harsher environments. We argue that this view is incomplete: space bioethics is a genuinely original domain.
