  3. A single Neanderthal-inherited amino acid change makes growth hormone receptors fire harder, and people carrying it today have more muscle, shorter jaw ramus height, and shorter tooth roots. Neanderthal biology, still running. 🧬🦴🔬

  5. By now y’all’ve heard that there’s a lot of #Neanderthal DNA floating around in our collective genome but—#funfact—no Neanderthal DNA that’s been sequenced shows evidence of any crossover.
    According to Ludovic Slimak, The Naked Neanderthal.
    I’m reading his The Last Neanderthal now. About efforts to figure out how to place temporally some Neanderthal bone bits and teeth found in the Rhône Valley 10 years ago. #recommended #bookstodon

  9. Neanderthals and Homo sapiens shared culture for over 20,000 years, cave study suggests

    Neanderthals and modern humans appear to have shared far more than the same landscape. A new study from a cave in southern Türkiye suggests both groups lived in strikingly similar ways and even shared symbolic traditions over thousands of years....

  13. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦴👶 #Neanderthal #babies grew much faster than modern #humans, reaching toddler size by just 6 months old.

    Researchers studying Amud 7, a 50,000 year old infant found in #Israel, found its limb #bones matched a 12 to 14 month old child. Researchers confirmed this across multiple Neanderthal #infants.

  15. Europe’s last Neanderthals were genetically diverse and connected, study finds

    A new genetic study has changed how researchers view the last Neanderthals in Western Europe. Evidence from 27 individuals found in present-day Belgium and France suggests these groups were more connected and more diverse than many scientists thought...

  18. I just said it in a different comment and I'll say it here. Apparently there are strands of #DNA that have been broken in #GOP or there's just a plain old #Evolutionary #Split. I started calling psychic evolutionary split a few years ago. Group insanity? #Neanderthal happened. The beat goes on.

  20. Payre fossil teeth reveal regional diversity among Europe’s earliest Neanderthals

    A team led by the Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana studied fossil teeth from the Payre site in southeastern France. The material comes from nine teeth found in layers linked to the Middle Pleistocene, around 250,000 years ago...

  22. Scientist questions dating of world’s oldest cave art and Neanderthal paintings

    A debate over the dating of prehistoric cave art has resurfaced after a French researcher challenged several widely publicized age estimates linked to some of the world’s oldest known paintings and hand stencils. The criticism focuses on uranium-thorium dating, often called U-Th dating, a method used to...

  24. #Neanderthal #brains measure up to ours—literally
    If you look at Neanderthal and #HomoSapiens #skulls, they’re visibly different: Neanderthal are lower and longer, ours tend to be rounder.
    New results suggest there’s more variation in brain size among modern people than between Neanderthals and #Pleistocene Homo sapiens. And because brain size is actually a terrible way to predict cognitive capability, Neanderthals could have be more like us than previous studies claimed.

  26. Oldest known dental treatment found in 59,000-year-old Neanderthal tooth from Siberia

    A Neanderthal living nearly 59,000 years ago in southern Siberia appears to have undergone a form of dental treatment far earlier than scientists once expected. Researchers studying a molar from Chagyrskaya Cave in Russia found signs of deliberate drilling inside a painful cavity...

    Neanderthals did more with hunted animals than eat their meat. A new study suggests they kept and reused rhinoceros teeth as durable tools during daily work.

  30. Crediamo che la medicina sia un'invenzione recente e tutta umana. Invece l'orango si spalma impacchi antinfiammatori, gli scimpanzé applicano insetti sulle ferite dei compagni, i Neanderthal scavavano la carie con strumenti di pietra 59.000 anni fa. L'origine della medicina e quella della solidarietà sono probabilmente la stessa cosa.
