@HI_Greens Indeed - that wouldn't surprise me at all! I can very well imagine the existence of #Neanderthals with that sort of #knowledge. If there were #Neanderthal #dentists, why not Neanderthal #doctors & #pharmacists? They probably didn't divide up the roles like we do.

Siamo nel 57.000 Avanti Cristo: un Neanderthal in Siberia apre la bocca, e un altro gli infila un trapanino di diaspro nel molare per pulirgli la carie. Il suo dente, ritrovato nella grotta di Chagyrskaya, mostra tracce di masticazione successive al foro: l'intervento ha funzionato. È appena stata scoperta la più antica seduta odontoiatrica mai documentata, 40.000 anni prima del primo "dentista" Homo Sapiens.

A Neanderthal got a tooth drilled 59,000 years ago — with a jasper perforator, no anesthetic, and it worked. New research from Chagyrskaya Cave just rewrote the history of dentistry. #Neanderthal #Paleoanthropology #HumanEvolution #Dentistry #Tooth https://www.anthropology.net/p/a-neanderthal-had-a-tooth-drilled

Così come le popolazioni europee hanno ereditato parte del DNA dai #Neanderthal, quelle oceaniche e del Sud-est asiatico hanno ricevuto mutazioni dei #Denisova.
Ora sappiamo che almeno una di queste mutazioni risale a #HomoErectus: lo hanno scoperto scienziati cinesi che hanno estratto e analizzato proteine da denti di H. erectus vissuti 400mila anni fa. 🦷

A Neanderthal infant’s bones and teeth don’t agree on its age. The gap between them reveals something fundamental about how Neanderthals developed. New research in Current Biology. #Neanderthal #Paleoanthropology #HumanEvolution https://www.anthropology.net/p/the-neanderthal-infant-whose-bones

Scientists still do not know what happened to our Neanderthal sisters and brothers.
But they're progressing fast. It's kind of gold rush atmosphere in this part of science cause there are so many new findings in such a short amount of time.

Paleoanthropologist Ludovic Slimak is stirring things up.
“Everything must be rewritten about the greatest extinction in humanity and our understanding of this incredible process that will lead Homo sapiens to remain the only survival of humanity.”

Hehe nice! My dentist told me I have a "great spacious jaw" because I didn't need my wisdom teeth removed, they just grew perfectly fitted & straight... I conclude I'm very #neanderthal 🦷

Ancient coupling may have happened more between human females and Neanderthal males.
From @AssociatedPress: "How exactly this happened remains a huge question mark. Did human women venture into Neanderthal populations, or were the Neanderthal males drawn to larger human enclaves?"
-
Although a low level of #Neanderthal ancestry is present in most #humans, the Neanderthal genes are not uniformly distributed.
A handful of regions in the #autosome are entirely devoid of such ancestry in essentially all living humans, and the X #chromosome is strongly depleted across its sequence.
These patterns are most consistent with Neanderthal contributions to human populations being heavily male biased.
The interbreeding between the two groups was predominantly that of male Neanderthals with females of the anatomically modern human population.

Study of AI generated Neanderthal scenes reveals major gaps with modern archaeological research
Researchers tested how generative artificial intelligence portrays Neanderthals and found frequent errors, outdated ideas, and clear bias. The study appears in Advances in Archaeological Practice. Matthew Magnani from the University of Maine worked with Jon Clindaniel from the University of Chicago on the project...

I’m looking for a book describing research into the earliest known examples of what we’d recognize as a stringed instrument (musical or any other purpose that became musical.) I believe I’ve read that Neanderthals had #string, but can’t swear to it. I’d like to read that book. Anybody know of one offhand, or written one of their own? Gimme some titles, please. I really don’t wanna hafta ask Claude. -
Casablanca fossils dated 773,000 years back reveal African origin of last common ancestor of humans and Neanderthals
A set of ancient human bones from Casablanca reshapes how we think about early human history. New research places a key ancestral population of modern humans and Neanderthals in northwest Africa around 773,000 years ago...

🔥New paper out now in Quaternary Science Reviews🔥
Two of our MONREPOS researchers were involved in a study that provided high-resolution climate data from the Eemian interglacial period from Neumark-Nord 2, Germany.

"Although the rest of the Neanderthal's skeleton appeared to be adapted to the cold, his nose was not."
Ouch. Only known intact #Neanderthal inner #nose bones suggest it didn't evolve to withstand harsh climates:

This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Homo #neanderthalensis aka #Neanderthal
In 1829 Philippe-Charles Schmerling, found a partial skull in the Grottes d'Engis, Belgium. He thought it was a poorly developed human
In 1856 schoolteacher Johann Carl Fuhlrott recognised bones from Kleine Feldhofer Grotte in Neander Valley as distinct from modern humans.They were presented to anthropologist Hermann Schaaffhausen to study
In 1863 Neanderthal Man was proposed as a new species. This was formalised in 1864 -
Genetic mutation in key enzyme may explain why humans survived while Neanderthals went extinct
A minor genetic difference in one of the enzymes may have helped separate modern humans from Neanderthals and Denisovans, our closest extinct relatives, and may have even contributed to the fact that Homo sapiens thrived while the others became extinct..More info: https://archaeologymag.com/2025/08/why-humans-survived-while-neanderthals-went-extinct/

CW: nature and violence = natural?
@freeschool right, I was talking about the concept of deep time, as described in the Wiki article. The reason for running them together as one word is simply that there's no way to tag phrases as far as I know.
The origin of the post was a conversation I was having elsenet about why modern #humans show evidence of #maternal #inheritance from #Neanderthals via #mitochondrial #DNA, but no evidence of #paternal inheritance via the Y #chromosome.
Their explanation was basically "our ancestors killed all the men and took all the women." Which is possible, of course: there are certainly plenty of examples of that in recorded human #history. But I have hard time believing it's the *only* thing that happened between two species (or subspecies: the line is fuzzy) that interacted with each over over tens and perhaps hundreds of thousands of years.
Another and IMO more likely explanation is that #hybrid #fertility is sex-linked. e.g. the rare #fertile #mules are always female. If the same applied in this case, that would explain why the #Neanderthal Y chromosome disappeared in mixed #human populations.
There are definitely applications to modern behavior. 🙂 But really, I'd mainly just like people to get away from always assuming the bloodiest possible explanation for observed #biological phenomena, whether in humans or any other animal.

Classifying humans and human-like mammals based on the shape of their head bones and other bones is not science, but pseudo-science. Why would #anthropologists still insist on doing this?
I would say the shape of my head is more like that of a #Neanderthal. #HomoErectus are known to have smaller teeth which I believe is due to their diet, not how advanced they are. If their diet was more grain and vegetable based or contained less calcium, having smaller teeth is natural. #homosapien
