Brain development is similar in Neanderthals and modern humans
While the braincase of adult Neanderthals had a similar volume to that of modern humans from the same period, differences in endocranial shape suggest that brain morphology differed between modern humans and Neanderthals. When and how these differences arose during evolution and development is a topic of ongoing research, with potential implications for species-specific differences in brain and...
متن کاملWhen Did Neanderthals and Modern Humans Diverge?
The availability of sequences from the mtDNA hypervariable region I and II of a specimen of the Neanderthal,1,2 Homo neanderthalensis, permits estimation of the time of divergence of Neanderthals and modern humans. Based on substitution rates derived from comparison of human and chimpanzee, Krings et al. provided an estimate of 550–690 KY1 and 317–741 KY2 before present for the split between th...
متن کاملFacial ontogeny in Neanderthals and modern humans.
One hundred and fifty years after the discovery of Neanderthals, it is held that this morphologically and genetically distinct human species does not differ from modern Homo sapiens in its craniofacial ontogenetic trajectory after the early post-natal period. This is striking given the evident morphological differences between these species, since it implies that all of the major differences ar...
متن کاملDental evidence for ontogenetic differences between modern humans and Neanderthals.
Humans have an unusual life history, with an early weaning age, long childhood, late first reproduction, short interbirth intervals, and long lifespan. In contrast, great apes wean later, reproduce earlier, and have longer intervals between births. Despite 80 y of speculation, the origins of these developmental patterns in Homo sapiens remain unknown. Because they record daily growth during for...
متن کاملBrain development after birth differs between Neanderthals and modern humans
Here, we test whether we could find evidence for a globularization phase in the ontogenetic trajectory of Neanderthals, and thus whether the adult endocranial differences are already established at the time of birth, or develop later. We statistically compared shapes of virtual endocasts extracted from computed-tomographic scans of crania of 58 modern humans [7] and virtual reconstructions of 1...
