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.

A Mathematical Model for Neanderthal Extinction [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Theoretical Biology, 1998
A simple mathematical homogeneous model of competition is used to describe Neanderthal extinction in Europe. It considers two interacting species, Neanderthals and Early Modern Men, in the same ecological niche. Using paleontological data we claim that the parameter of similarity, between both species, fluctuates between 0.992 and 0.997.

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.

Anterior dental loading and root morphology in Neanderthals

open access: yes, 2013
Distinguer les incisives et canines des Néanderthaliens de celles des hommes modernes peut représenter un défi dans le cas de dents isolées trouvées dans des collections de musée, ou provenant de contextes stratigraphiques perturbés.

Rib Cross‐Sectional Mineralized Area in Early Pleistocene Hominins: Insights From the Homo antecessor and H. erectus s. l. Fossil Record

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Rib cross‐sectional mineralized area provides valuable insights into mechanical loading and bone growth and remodeling. Given the scarcity of Early Pleistocene costal remains in the context of human evolution, we aimed to study the cross‐sectional anatomy of fossil ribs from that period and compare them to a modern human ontogenetic

Occlusal wear pattern analysis of functional morphology in Neanderthals and early Homo sapiens dentition

open access: yes, 2010
Very little is known about the occlusal wear pattern in the Neanderthal posterior dentition. Usually dental wear is closely related to the physical properties of the ingested food, and consequently can be used to obtain information about diet ...

Confessions of a Poverty Researcher: My Journey Through the Foothills of Scholarship

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 236-246, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper describes the key events, experiences and ideas that influenced the author's career as a poverty researcher. He describes how his early disillusion with economics was replaced by a spark of interest in social issues and how his migration from the UK to Australia in the mid‐1970s provided the impetus to begin what became a lifetime ...

Extinction of neanderthals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Neandertalci su se javili na prostorima današnje Europe, Bliskog Istoka i zapadne Azije prije otprilike 320 000 godina. Većina znanstvenika danas smatra da su se neandertalci kao vrsta uspjeli održati sve do prije 28 000 godina.

Neanderthals and modern humans

open access: yes, 2017
This chapter deals with the similarities and differences between Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens, by considering genetic, brain, and cognitive evidence. The genetic differentiation emerges from fossil genetic evidence obtained first from mtDNA and
