Reassessing genetic relationships of Homo heidelbergensis among primates based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA
2022-11-04
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial and nuclear DNA isolated from the fossils of Homo heidelbergensis are a real godsend. Morphological assessments of a given fossil can be highly subjective, sometimes having to transfer species from Homo to Australopithecus . However, sequencing data makes the accurate genetic reassessment of this fossil among primates possible. The mtDNA for 36 primates including Neanderthal, Denisovan, and Homo heid...
