Interactions of Neanderthals and Modern Humans: What Can Be Inferred from Mitochondrial DNA? by Krzysztof A. Cyran, Marek Kimmel

“…This paper reviews the state-of-the-art knowledge concerning the relationship between Neanderthals and Upper Paleolithic modern humans. The branching-process method is applied to infer the upper limit of hypothetical Neanderthal admixture, consistent with the evidence based on mitochondrial DNA sequences of contemporary modern humans, as well as Neanderthal and early modern European H. sapiens fossils. …”

Sur la biométrie des mandibules et des dents humaines d’Ishango (LSA, République démocratique du Congo) by Rosine Orban, Patrick Semal, François Twiesselmann

“…Taking into account the reduction of teeth and maxillaries since the australopithecines until Homo sapiens sapiens, bivariate analyses have led to the following observations: the mandibles D and a tend to be located among the higher values of the modern variation; some of their measurements (a.o. those of the ascending ramus) are close to those from the fossils of the Upper Paleolithic of Europe, of Fish Hoek, and of Gamble Cave; the Ishango a mandible is more robust than the D mandible; its molars are larger, in relative terms, than the other teeth of the toothrow; the M2 from Ishango A and a are located within the variability of the Plio-Pleistocene fossils from Africa and of the Homo erectus; the large dimensions of the M1 dental germ locate it among the Australopithecines. …”

Sillons d’usure interproximaux : reproduction expérimentale, analyse et application des résultats aux observations sur la lignée néandertalienne by Linda Bouchneb, Bruno Maureille

“…However there is an exception: the flexible material produced marks that we have never seen on Paleolithic fossils. The use of mineral particles appears to increase the speed of wear and to produce deeper scratches.With these experimental results we discuss the interproximal wear grooves observed on teeth of members of Neanderthal lineage. …”

The role of Beringia in human adaptation to Arctic conditions based on results of genomic studies of modern and ancient populations by B. A. Malyarchuk

“…The results of a paleogenomic analysis also show that during the last glacial maximum Beringia was populated by human groups that had arisen as a result of interaction between the most ancient Upper Paleolithic populations of Northern Eurasia and newcomer groups from East Asia. …”

A local meteoric water line for interior Alaska constrains paleoclimate from 40 000 year old relict permafrost by Thomas A Douglas, Amanda J Barker, Alistair J Monteath, Duane G Froese

“…Older samples provide insight into local climatic conditions slightly before the first archeological evidence for Paleolithic hunter-gatherers in the region. From permafrost ice we calculate that summer temperatures warmed by ∼10 °C between late MIS3 and today, with six degrees of warming between 40–30 ka and 3 ka and an additional 4 °C of warming since 3 ka. …”

Vestiges humains des niveaux de l’Aurignacien ancien du site de Brassempouy (Landes) by Dominique Henry-Gambier, Bruno Maureille, Randall White
