Long genetic and social isolation in Neanderthals before their extinction
Cell GenomicsSummary: Neanderthal genomes have been recovered from sites across Eurasia, painting an increasingly complex picture of their populations’ structure that mostly indicates that late European Neanderthals belonged to a single metapopulation with no ...

Modern Humans Did Not Admix with Neanderthals during Their Range Expansion into Europe [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2004 The process by which the Neanderthals were replaced by modern humans between 42,000 and 30,000 before present is still intriguing. Although no Neanderthal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) lineage is found to date among several thousands of Europeans and in ...

Early life of Neanderthals [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020 Significance The extent to which Neanderthals differ from us is the focus of many studies in human evolution. There is debate about their pace of growth and early-life metabolic constraints, both of which are still poorly understood. Here we use chemical and isotopic patterns in tandem with enamel growth rates of three Neanderthal milk teeth ...

Molar macrowear reveals Neanderthal eco-geographic dietary variation.
PLoS ONE, 2011 Neanderthal diets are reported to be based mainly on the consumption of large and medium sized herbivores, while the exploitation of other food types including plants has also been demonstrated.

Q&A: Where did the Neanderthals go? [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2017 Genomic evidence has demonstrated that humans and Neanderthals interbred. Today, the genomes of most individuals outside Africa contain 2–3% Neanderthal DNA.

A simple analytical model for Neanderthal disappearance due to genetic dilution by recurrent small-scale immigrations of modern humans [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe disappearance of Neanderthals remains a subject of intense debate, with competing hypotheses attributing their demise to demographic decline, environmental change, competition with Homo sapiens, or genetic assimilation.

Faunal exploitation at the elephant hunting site of Lehringen, Germany, 125,000 years ago [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe site of Lehringen (Germany) has played a pivotal role in the study of the hunting behavior of Neanderthals. The finding of a 2.38 m long wooden thrusting spear was at the time of discovery in 1948 the only complete Palaeolithic hunting tool, dating ...

The Talking Neanderthals: What Do Fossils, Genetics, and Archeology Say? [PDF]
Biolinguistics, 2013 Did Neanderthals have language? This issue has been debated back and forth for decades, without resolution. But in recent years new evidence has become available. New fossils and archeological finds cast light on relevant Neanderthal anatomy and behavior.
