When thefirst modern humans arosein East Africa sometime between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago, the world was very different compared to today. Perhaps the biggest difference was that we – meaning people of our species,Homo sapiens– were only one of several types of humans (orhominins) ...
all the human groups have just over a 0.12 genetic divergence with Neanderthals, meaning that the genetic difference between humans and Neanderthals is only 12% as great as the genetic difference between
important to distinguish that the difference is a quantitative difference, and not a qualitative one, since “if one accepts the monistic mechanism of contemporary evolutionary theory, then whatever differences that are between humans and non-human animals must be of degree and not of kind” (Goodw...
How are humans created in ''Theogony''? What is the theme of American Primitive? What is the difference between fairy tales and folktales? In Touching Spirit Bear, what does Cole convince Peter to do after destroying the bear on his to...
We determined the genetic sex of the 17 remains using the difference in coverage between the X chromosome and autosomes (Supplementary Fig.5.5) and found that 6 remains stemmed from females. For the 11 male remains, we enriched the libraries for around 6.9 megabases (Mb) of Y-ch...
A competitive advantage for modern humans then resulted in the replacement of Neanderthals by the principle of competitive exclusion. This category of hypotheses comprises several variants, distinguishable by the type of competitive advantage they postulate. The inter-specific difference might have been ...
But there were evidently degrees of difference from one place to another as to howantagonisticwas their relationship to that order. If they served as mercenaries, they might have a relationship to the state that was defined by some kind of formal agreement. Some Biblical scholars believe that th...
Furthermore, despite the small size of the lithic assemblage so far, the quantitative comparative analysis shows a significant difference between elements within the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic layers. The homogeneity of the differences between all the compared elements—that is to say, the greater ...

(SI7). Multivariate analysis of the dataset indicates some inter-assemblage variability amongst these sites, with the notably large collection of Levallois points from Shukbah showing no distinct difference from the total pattern of regional variability (Fig.6c; SI Fig.4). This suggests that ...
