Measuring the shape. Performance evaluation of a photogrammetry improvement applied to the Neanderthal skull Saccopastore 1 [PDF]

, 2018
Several digital technologies are nowadays developed and applied to the study of the human fossil record. Here, we present a low-cost hardware implementation of the digital acquisition via photogrammetry, applied to a specimen of paleoanthropological ...

An ancestral recombination graph of human, Neanderthal, and Denisovan genomes

Science Advances, 2021
A new heuristic ARG inference tool maps archaic hominin admixture and highlights genomic regions unique to modern humans. Many humans carry genes from Neanderthals, a legacy of past admixture.

Autism, the Integrations of 'Difference' and the Origins of Modern Human Behaviour [PDF]

, 2009
It is proposed here that the archaeological evidence for the emergence of 'modern behaviour' (160,000-40,000 bp) can best be explained as the rise of cognitive variation within populations through social mechanisms for integrating 'different minds ...

Blood groups of Neandertals and Denisova decrypted.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Blood group systems were the first phenotypic markers used in anthropology to decipher the origin of populations, their migratory movements, and their admixture.

Reevaluating the timing of Neanderthal disappearance in Northwest Europe

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Understanding when Neanderthals disappeared is a hotly debated topic. When radiocarbon dating placed the Spy Neanderthals amongst the latest surviving in Northwest Europe, questions were raised regarding the reliability of the dates. Using a

A New Homo Species?

Revista Colombiana de Bioética, 2015
In the event that a new and improved species of “Homo” could arise, we must keep in mind the colonization of Europe by Cromagnons and the subsequent extinction of Neanderthals.

Genomic analysis of a novel Neanderthal from Mezmaiskaya Cave provides insights into the genetic relationships of Middle Palaeolithic populations

Scientific Reports, 2022
The Mezmaiskaya cave is located on the North Caucasus near the border that divides Europe and Asia. Previously, fossil remains for two Neanderthals were reported from Mezmaiskaya Cave.

The contribution of Neanderthal introgression and natural selection to neurodegenerative diseases

Neurobiology of Disease, 2023
Humans are thought to be more susceptible to neurodegeneration than equivalently-aged primates. It is not known whether this vulnerability is specific to anatomically-modern humans or shared with other hominids.

Direct evidence that late Neanderthal occupation precedes a technological shift in southwestern Italy

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, 2022
Objectives During the middle‐to‐upper Paleolithic transition (50,000 and 40,000 years ago), interaction between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens varied across Europe.
