There’s a LOT here, as shown by the table of contents, below This book is chocked full of great information in one place. As an added bonus, the DNA glossary is 18 pages long. I really hope you enjoy my new book, in whatever format you prefer. ___ Follow DNAexplain on Facebook...
Origin of Modern Humans Rene J. Herrera, Ralph Garcia-Bertrand, in Ancestral DNA, Human Origins, and Migrations, 2018 microRNA Regulation and Epigenetic Variation microRNA (miRNA) has been implicated in dental differences between humans and Neanderthals. Genomic sequence comparisons in the human-deriv...
About 1.5 to 2.1 percent of the DNA of anyone outside Africa is Neanderthal in origin. However, scientists reasoned that the Neanderthal DNA found in one person might not be the same Neanderthal DNA of someone else. [See Photos of Our Closest Human Ancestor] The toe bone of a Neanderthal ...
The Neanderthals are associated with the archaeological period known as theMiddle Paleolithic(MP), which most scholars place between 300,000–35,000 ya (Monnier 2006, Richter 2011). The two main defining characteristics of the stone tools from the Middle Paleolithic are a decrease in the frequency...
the publication ofOn the Origin of Species(1859) byCharles Darwin, which provided a theoretical foundation upon which fossils could be viewed as a direct record of life overgeologic time. When two fossil skeletons that resembled the original Feldhofer remains were discovered at Spy, Belgium, in ...
A Lavoir is a public place in France set aside for the washing of clothes. They are commonly sited on a spring or beside or set over a river. Many Lavoirs are provided with roofs for shelter, as is the case here. With the coming of piped water supplies and modern drainage, lavoirs ...
the researchers, the specific area of 16p11.2 they identified as being Denisovan in origin is part of a locus which "exhibits an enrichment of complex recurrent structural rearrangements, which predisposes humans to the second most common genetic cause of autism, accounting for ~1% of patien...
We've reported in the past that researchers wereattempting to sequencethe Neanderthal genome in an attempt to better understand the origin of modern humans. The need for this project might have gotten a boost froma recent reportthat suggested that at least some of this pre-modern human lineage...
in Level 3 of the Cueva Des-Cubierta (in central Spain). Taxonomic and anatomical analyses of this assemblage, along with the taphonomic modifications to which its components were subjected, indicate that its origin lies in something other than practices associated with mere subsistence. Rather, it...
Since the divergence between the NT and anatomically modern humans took place much more recently (approximately 0.6–0.8 million years ago19), we can reasonably predict the fossil brains by deforming the modern Homo sapiens (MH) brains. Computed tomography (CT) scan data of four adult NT [A...
