Preliminary comments: Am I correct that rather than really being an insertion your numt segment(s) is actually a replacement of a very similar section of ...
Dar, Lief, There have been so few Neanderthal toes found that even defining the variation in the total set of them is pretty nearly impossible. Toes do not...
How do you measure toe length, anyway? I *think* my big toe is longer than my second, but it's close, and I'm not sure whether you measure it from the joints,...
Dale, Thanks for your comments. First of all, I prepared this numt file strictly for the purpose of showing others as I don't think they get a chance to see...
More on Trinkaus' Neanderthal/modern hybridization period in Europe: http://www.nature.com/news/2006/061030/full/061030-3.html A comment on the following quote...
There is, of course, the not so small matter that looking for *differences* overlooks *similarities* when reconstructing a *small* portion of mtDNA. Removing...
Well, I don't think I am Neanderthal but my 2 next toes are bigger than my Big toe. Plus, they are fairly prehensile. Maybe because I am Scottish, isn't there...
In re numt even if not directly, here's an issue I've never seen addressed. As some of you may know, the earth's magnetic field is rapidly weakening: ...
Anne: As you can see below, John ASKED me to "explain the flute." (I didn't put him up to it, either.) So I guess I should write another essay for John,...
It would be interesting to know if there are correlations. There was one about the time the early erectines appeared, but that could be coincidence (along...
... I think the long prehensile toes belonged to the people of St Kilda. They were climbing around in cliff face rookeries catching seabirds... Cheers Torfinn...
Well you have to know the difference between a geomagnetic reversal and a geomagnetic excursion: See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_excursion The...
... And thank you very much. I see an ATG just below the line starting, followed by the codes for 7 amino acids. The proline in the mtDNA is replaced by...

Careful :-) My toes evenly descend in size, but the width of the foot and the wide fan heel to toes makes shoe shopping difficult. Hair fineness ( in dishwater...
That is exactly my major reservation about the Neanderthal genome projects. It almost certainly happens, but in many cases that is not a big issue provided...

Discussions of this type are worthwhile. Method of cultural diffusion prior to population increases starting toward the end end of the UP would very likely...
