A comprehensive analysis of long bone curvature in Neanderthals and modern humans using 3D morphometrics [PDF]
, 2008 Since their discovery Neanderthals were described as having a marked degree of anteroposterior curvature of the femoral shaft. Although initially believed to be pathological, subsequent discoveries of Neanderthal remains made femoral curvature as well as

Application of Multi‐Method Dating for Understanding the Gravettian North of Moravia, Central Europe
Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1050-1061, October 2026.ABSTRACT This article presents the results of integrating three methods to assess the age of the Upper Palaeolithic site of Pietraszyn 11 (SW Poland), close to the Moravian Gate. Sediment chronology determined using optically stimulated luminescence produced promising, yet ambiguous results (51.0 ± 3.7 to 20.3 ± 0.7 ka).

The Dentition of the Aurignacian Mandible Les Rois 2, France: New Data and Taxonomic Reassessment
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 191, Issue 1, September 2026.ABSTRACT Objective This study provides new dental phenotypic data on the Aurignacian mandible Les Rois 2 (southwestern France). A former study of its dental morphology concluded that its taxonomic assignment to either Homo sapiens or Homo neanderthalensis was “uncertain” and could reflect a recent Neanderthal ancestry of this specimen.
