If we had a Densovian skull would it be classified as a Neanderthal. So many Neanderthal skulls are so different way different skulls of humans around the world today.</i><br /><br />barakobama,<br /><br />Not really. Most of the differences between Neanderthal skull morphology are well documented in time and space: Iberia seems to show the first transition towards Neanderthal features, followed by ~Central Europe around 300,000 - 150,000 ya, with the E, SE, the Levant, and West Asia lagging until around 60,000 ya (and even then there was a W-E cline in features that distinguish Neanderthal from heidelbergensis).<br /><br />Both mt-DNA and autosomal DNA show low population numbers and at least three (but likely four, when anatomy is included) subgroups (SW, W and N Europe; SC/ SE Europe; extreme E Europe and NW Asia; the Levant [and perhaps Iran etc.]).<br /><br />Yet, all of these are clearly Neanderthal - anatomically, from their mt-DNA branches, and autosomically. <br /><br />In addition, there were likely groups farther east related to the original heidelbergensis, and to E Asian erectus. Denisova may have been a hybrid of sorts between any of these - it will take more ancient DNA samples to clarify.<br /><br />All of them likely could successfully interbreed with each other and with AMHs - so one has to be careful with the "species" nomenclature.eurologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440019181278830033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-89341146065613171802013-10-30T11:21:57.083+02:002013-10-30T11:21:57.083+02:00Is there evidence in autosomal DNA they have any W...<i>Is there evidence in autosomal DNA they have any West Eurasian(European, Near eastern, north African) ancestry or any other type of non African ancestry.</i><br /><br />The full paper is available here:<br /><br />http://gbe.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2013/10/25/gbe.evt160.full.pdf+html<br /><br />See the result of the ADMIXTURE analysis in Figure 3 at the end of the paper. There you will see that the said Negroid groups are indeed clearly non-Negroid-admixed (probably ultimately from Eurasia in all of them).Onur Dincerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041378853428912894noreply@blogger.com
