Quantum Words and Newtonian Sentences, Structure of Language and Algebra [PDF]
Journal of Interdisciplinary Sciences, 2019 Language and algebra take their structure from two laws in physics; and algebra is a subset of language. 1) Through its property of discreteness, words take their structure from the quantum property of matter, where phonemes are digits, words are ...

Morphological and population genomic evidence that human faces have evolved to signal individual identity. [PDF]
, 2014 Facial recognition plays a key role in human interactions, and there has been great interest in understanding the evolution of human abilities for individual recognition and tracking social relationships.

Metagenomic analysis of dental calculus in ancient Egyptian baboons [PDF]
, 2019 Dental calculus, or mineralized plaque, represents a record of ancient biomolecules and food residues. Recently, ancient metagenomics made it possible to unlock the wealth of microbial and dietary information of dental calculus to reconstruct oral ...

Annals of Human Biology, 2019 Background: Simonti et al. reported variation in the frequency of Neanderthal alleles found in modern humans and argued that they may have provided an evolutionary advantage. One such allele is SNP rs3917862, associated with hypercoagulability. rs3917862

Raising the Neanderthal (molecules) from the dead: a proposal for in vivo resurrection of Neanderthal haemoglobin for the investigation of biochemical adaptations for cold tolerance [PDF]
Research Ideas and OutcomesSince the first discoveries of Neanderthal fossils, their derived characteristics, such as increased robusticity, have engaged researchers. Adaptation to cold environments has been hypothesised to explain such traits and this hypothesis has driven the ...

Interglacial Neanderthal habitats [PDF]
Science, 2017 Paleoanthropology Despite burgeoning research in Neanderthal archaeology in recent years, much remains to be discovered about their interactions with the paleoenvironment. Using a species distribution modeling approach, Benito et al. studied how climate and topography shaped Neanderthal distribution in Europe during the Last Interglacial optimum around

Beyond reasonable doubt: reconsidering Neanderthal aesthetic capacity
Phenomenology and the Cognitive SciencesAn aesthetic sense—a taste for the creation and/or appreciation of that which strikes one as, e.g., attractive or awesome—is often assumed to be a distinctively H. sapiens phenomenon.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017 The mechanism of the Neanderthal extinction and their replacement by modern humans of African origin is one of the most discussed issues in paleoanthropology. Central to this discussion are the questions of the chronological overlap between Neanderthal populations and modern humans in Western Eurasia and the precise geographical circumstances of this ...

Ancient fossil specimens of extinct species are genetically more distant to an outgroup than extant sister species are [PDF]
, 2008 There exists a remarkable correlation between genetic distance and time of species divergence as inferred from fossil records. This observation has provoked the molecular clock hypothesis.
