Recent years have witnessed exciting and important scientific
breakthroughs in the study of Neanderthals and their place in human
evolution which have transformed our appreciation of this group s
paleobiology and evolution. This volume presents cutting-edge
research by leading scientists re-examining the major debates in
Neanderthal research with the use of innovative state-of-the art
methods and exciting new theoretical approaches.
Topics addressed include the re-evaluation of Neanderthal
anatomy, inferred adaptations and habitual activities,
developmental patterns, phylogenetic relationships, and the
Neanderthal extinction; new methods include computer tomography, 3D
geometric morphometrics, ancient DNA and bioenergetics. The diverse
contributions offer fresh insights and advances in Neanderthal and
modern human origins research.
This is a Volume in The Max-Planck-Institute Subseries in Human
Evolution coordinated by Jean-Jacques Hublin, Max-Planck-Institute
