J Hum Evol. 2008 Aug 28. Ecological implications of the relative rarity of fossil hominins at Laetoli. Su DF, Harrison T. Department of Integrative Biology and...
Cell. 2008 Aug 8;134(3):388-9. A complete Neandertal mitochondrial genome sequence determined by high-throughput sequencing. Green RE, Malaspinas AS, Krause J,...
... Analysis of the assembled sequence unequivocally establishes that the Neandertal mtDNA falls outside the variation of extant human mtDNAs, and allows an...
IMO, Neandertals and any other population should fall outside the variation of modern populations since ancient Neandertals lack any of the new mutations that...
I simply do not trust mitochondrial DNA heteromorphology as a barometer of genetic distance between species of humans tens of thousands of years apart. We know...
Jack: The people who recently gave us the "complete" mtDNA Neandertal genome claim they're working on a Neandertal nuclear genome. FWIW. Anne G I simply do not...
My question is, how could it be possible for a European Neandertal to be judged as genetically more similar to a modern European population if that modern...
I guess the next logical question is ... Why isn't D-2700 Homo habilis? Or...as you say, "A. habilis"?? I must say, my reconstruction with full teeth does...
"Cranial capacity is everything." By that I assume you mean that cranial capacity , in the H. lineage, determines the species? I see a certain pattern but do...
Dmanisi speciments appear to lie evolutionarily between ergaster and erectus. The date of the fossil amd the cranial capacity and osteomorphology seems to...
Jack: I'm kind of "agnostic" as to exactly where habilis belongs. It seems to many workers to have a bunch of Australopithecus-like characteristics but that's...
Bloglines user AnneGilbert (avgilbert@...) has sent this item to you, with the following personal message: All: Apparently Neandertal growt rates(of...
I'm kind of with you on this, Anne. I think we are essentially Homo erectus sapiens. Jack ... From: Anne Gilbert To: paleoanthropology@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Jack: The problem is, the taxonomists have already agreed on a species Homo erectus and another species Homo sapiens. I doubt if they're going to change that,...
Exactly. Many taxa were decided upon a couple centuries ago and Linnaeus gave us our taxon in 1758 (as I recall). That sticks and cannot be changed but I...
Jack: But Linnaeus had never heard of H.erectus; there wasn't any paleoanthropology in his time, and no one had discovered any human fossils yet --- at least...
Yes, that's true but, of course, the taxons do not reflect true relationships. Jack ... From: Anne Gilbert To: paleoanthropology@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday,...
... Linnaeus gave us our taxon in 1758 (as I recall). That sticks and cannot be changed but I meant that I think we are REALLY H. erectus sapiens. ... Oops!...
Kinda like H. erectus being our chronospecies? Jack ... From: "gahada2001" <gahada2001@...> To: <paleoanthropology@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday,...
Homo habilis had an encephalization of approximately 36.3 on the Lapicque scale while all paranthropines and australopithecines had an average encephalization...
All species are continuous with their ancestral species. This is actually the origin of what mathematicians call fuzzy sets. In fact crisp boundaries are rare,...
Leigh: Do you think by any chance, those rings could have "spokes"? I ask because certain varieties of gulls in certain parts of the world, are supposed to be...
I agree with you Anne. I think Jolly made the best argument that Homo has always been just one species: Am J Phys Anthropol. 2001;Suppl 33:177-204.Click here...
Marcel: My feeling has long been that, if you can observe these kinds of hybridizations(or results of hybridizations) in living organisms today, especially, as...
