🚨 Earliest modern human genomes constrain timing of Neanderthal admixture Genomes of earliest H. #sapiens populations from Germany/Czechia show admixture with #Neanderthals ~ 49-45,000 years ago with no descendants Sümer et al. 2024 👉 doi.org/10.1038/s415... #HumanEvolution #Genetic #Prehistory

🧬 H. sapiens blood group alleles may have differentiated right after their Out of Africa and may have helped them survive, while a blood variant identified in #Neanderthals seems not compatible with variants found in the Denisovans or early H. sapiens.

🚨 #Neanderthal extinction Further evidence that SW Europe was a core habitat for Neanderthals during the MIS 3, and that the occurrences of their stone tools decreased ~41,000 years ago (GI-10) 💀👣 Albouy et al. 2024 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.qu... #Prehistory #Archaeology #HumanEvolution #Palaeoecology

I was looking for it but couldn't find it so here it is! A starter to connect the growing #Neanderthal community on bsky 💀👣 Let me know if you'd like to join the list or suggest other people! #Archaeology #Palaeolithic #Prehistory #HumanEvolution #paleoecology Link: go.bsky.app/GSN1DGT

I took a look at literature about the now-famous Wannen-Ochtendung skull, deliberately misidentified as #Neanderthal, as I considered it as part of my PhD thesis. Before the ‘truth’ was revealed, this skull was the surprisingly northernmost Neanderthal fossil from the penultimate glacial MIS 6 🥶👀 ⬇️

Hi everyone ! I'm an archaeologist fascinated by Prehistoric people and #HumanEvolution, currently finalizing my PhD about #Neanderthal extinction at continental scale to explore the timing and regional causes of their disappearance at @globecoflinders.bsky.social Happy to start with BlueSky 🤠

Beautiful pictures of Neanderthals from @tombjorklundart.bsky.social !
