Document Summary
What the fossils say about modern human origins: a reality check. Chapter 13: 517 520 & 534 585. Fossil evidence from europe: the neandertal question: intro, 300 350 kya in europe, transition from middle to upper paleolithic assemblages occurred about. Anthro 3300: overview, 4-year old child = mosaic of european early modern human and. Species are not defined on basis of similarities/differences in small fragments of dna: until recently, we didn"t have any idea how variable mtdna sequences were among anatomically modern humans. If some amount of mtdna recombination does take place then all bets are off. Lack of regional affinity of neandertal dna to that of living europeans does not necessarily invalidate the. Multiregional continuity model since one would actually expect to see similar levels of neandertal ancestry in all contemporary regions under certain models of interregional gene flow. Even if neandertal went extinct, this would not invalidate. European neandertals: subalyuk, hungary = fragmentary remains of neandertals.
