Neanderthal cranial ontogeny and its implications for late hominid diversity.

Nature - 2 Aug 2001

Ponce de León M S, Zollikofer C P

Abstract excerpt

Homo neanderthalensis has a unique combination of craniofacial features that are distinct from fossil and extant 'anatomically modern' Homo sapiens (modern humans). Morphological evidence, direct isotopic dates and fossil mitochondrial DNA from three Neanderthals indicate that the Neanderthals were a separate evolutionary lineage for at least 500,000 yr. However, it is unknown when and how Neanderthal...
