Semicircular canals shed light on bottleneck events in the evolution of the Neanderthal clade [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsRevealing the evolutionary processes which resulted in the derived morphologies that characterize the Neanderthal clade has been an important task for paleoanthropologists. One critical method to quantify evolutionary changes in the morphology of hominin

The role of Neanderthal introgression in liver cancer
BMC Medical Genomics, 2022 Background Neanderthal introgressed DNA has been linked to different normal and disease traits including immunity and metabolism—two important functions that are altered in liver cancer. However, there is limited understanding of the relationship between

The Neanderthal resurrection and the Abominable Snowman legend
Шаги, 2022 Since the 1870s, the image of the ‘prehistoric man’ has spread widely in European and American public imagination. His appearance is reconstructed by paleoanthropologists and anatomists (Schaaffhausen, Solger, Martin); under the guidance of “primitive ...

Hand to mouth in a Neandertal : right-handedness in regourdou 1 [PDF]
, 2012 We describe and analyze a Neandertal postcranial skeleton and dentition, which together show unambiguous signs of right-handedness. Asymmetries between the left and right upper arm in Regourdou 1 were identified nearly 20 years ago, then confirmed by ...

The building blocks of art and its accompanying role and meaning
HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies, 2022 In this article, focusing on the building blocks of art with its concomitant role and meaning, we commence with a brief evolutionary overview of the origin of land vertebrates, which culminated in the rise of our species as we view it.

Signals interpreted as archaic introgression appear to be driven primarily by faster evolution in Africa [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Non-African humans appear to carry a few per cent archaic DNA due to ancient inter-breeding. This modest legacy and its likely recent timing imply that most introgressed fragments will be rare and hence will occur mainly in the heterozygous state.

Local adaptation and archaic introgression shape global diversity at human structural variant loci
eLife, 2021 Large genomic insertions and deletions are a potent source of functional variation, but are challenging to resolve with short-read sequencing, limiting knowledge of the role of such structural variants (SVs) in human evolution.

The influence of Neanderthal alleles on cytotoxic response [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Various studies have shown that people of Eurasian origin contain traces of DNA inherited from interbreeding with Neanderthals. Recent studies have demonstrated that these Neanderthal variants influence a range of clinically important traits and diseases.
