No ancient DNA damage in Actinobacteria from the Neanderthal bone. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: The Neanderthal genome was recently sequenced using DNA extracted from a 38,000-year-old fossil. At the start of the project, the fraction of mammalian and bacterial DNA in the sample was estimated to be

Recent origin of low trabecular bone density in modern humans [PDF]

, 2014
Humans are unique, compared with our closest living relatives (chimpanzees) and early fossil hominins, in having an enlarged body size and lower limb joint surfaces in combination with a relatively gracile skeleton (i.e., lower bone mass for our body ...

Direct evidence of Neanderthal fibre technology and its cognitive and behavioral implications

Scientific Reports, 2020
Neanderthals are often considered as less technologically advanced than modern humans. However, we typically only find faunal remains or stone tools at Paleolithic sites.

Different historical generation intervals in human populations inferred from Neanderthal fragment lengths and mutation signatures

Nature Communications, 2021
After the main Out-of-Africa event, humans interbred with Neanderthals leaving 1–2% of Neanderthal DNA scattered in small fragments in all non-African genomes today.

Evolution of the Human Brain: the key roles of DHA (omega-3 fatty acid) and Δ6-desaturase gene

Oilseeds and fats, crops and lipids, 2018
The process of hominization involves an increase in brain size. The development of hominids’ cognitive capital up to the emergence of Homo sapiens was due to interactive, iterative, and integrative coevolution, allowing positive selection.

The first Neanderthal remains from an open-air Middle Palaeolithic site in the Levant [PDF]

, 2017
The late Middle Palaeolithic (MP) settlement patterns in the Levant included the repeated use of caves and open landscape sites. The fossil record shows that two types of hominins occupied the region during this period - Neandertals and Homo sapiens ...

Past human expansions shaped the spatial pattern of Neanderthal ancestry

bioRxiv, 2022
The worldwide expansion of modern humans (Homo sapiens) from Africa started before the extinction of Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis). Both species coexisted and interbred, as revealed by the sequencing of Neanderthal genomes, leading to ~2 ...

The new digital archive at the Neanderthal Museum

Journal of Lithic Studies
The management and publication of digital data on online repositories constitutes a task that is becoming more and more relevant for museums and cultural heritage institutions alike. Not only is it important to archive the growing volume of data produced
