‘Virtual fossil’ reveals last common ancestor of humans and Neanderthals
Рет қаралды 22,902
8 жыл бұрынNew digital techniques have allowed researchers to predict structural evolution of the skull in the lineage of Homo sapiens and Neanderthals, in an effort to fill in blanks in the fossil record, and provide the first 3D rendering of their last common ancestor.
Here, lead researcher Dr. Aurélien Mounier from Cambridge's Leverhulme Centre for Human Evolutionary Studies describes part of the research that led to this 'virtual fossil'.

"The results of the study are published in the Journal of Human Evolution." What is the name of the study? DOI?

Interesting, I wonder what the result would be if you took several Neandertal skulls (including a "post-Classical" Neandertal skull) and ran the algorithm forward to the present. I'll say this, a virtual "modern" Neandertal fossil would cause quite a stir, and some people will _not_ like the result.
