Thanks 😁

Thank 😁

I'm Eryn and I will be adding Ecologists and Evolutionary Biologists to the science feed. Please respond below with evidence that you are an Eco/Evol scientist to be added to the feed. This moderation will be done in the same way as the general science feed 🧪.

Thanks Eryn! Would it be possible to add me to this science feed please? I’m PhD candidate at Flinders University (Australia). This is the link to my lab globalecologyflinders.com/people/ , and to my RG page www.researchgate.net/profile/Fion...

Thanks Dan! Could I join the pack?

Hi! Could I join please? thank you!

Thanks! I'd like to be added if still possible

Thanks! I'd be happy to be added!

Thanks! I would be happy included!

Thanks! I would love to be included, I'm building maps and inferring of past Neanderthal distribution over Eurasia

Thanks for this pack! If relevant, I'm looking for the effect of climate changes on Neanderthal expansion and extinction

🚨 Earliest modern human genomes constrain timing of Neanderthal admixture

Genomes of earliest H. #sapiens populations from Germany/Czechia show admixture with #Neanderthals ~ 49-45,000 years ago with no descendants

Rapid change in red cell blood group systems after the main Out of Africa of Homo sapiens - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Rapid change in red cell blood group systems after the main Out of Africa of Homo sapiens

🧬 H. sapiens blood group alleles may have differentiated right after their Out of Africa and may have helped them survive, while a blood variant identified in #Neanderthals seems not compatible with variants found in the Denisovans or early H. sapiens.

Further evidence that SW Europe was a core habitat for Neanderthals during the MIS 3, and that the occurrences of their stone tools decreased ~41,000 years ago (GI-10) 💀👣

Interestingly the fake #Neanderthal cranial calotte, now re-identified as a Homo sapiens ~contemporaneous to Charlemagne, was originally dated relatively from the early penultimate glacial (MIS 6) by von Berg et al. (2000) partly based on… its anatomy 💀

In fact, the fossil had already been extensively described as being out of clear stratigraphic context by Richter et al. (2017)!

This emphasises once again the need to consider uncertainties.

A short extract from Richter et al.’s study doi.org/10.1016/j.ja... 👇

I took a look at literature about the now-famous Wannen-Ochtendung skull, deliberately misidentified as #Neanderthal, as I considered it as part of my PhD thesis. Before the ‘truth’ was revealed, this skull was the surprisingly northernmost Neanderthal fossil from the penultimate glacial MIS 6 🥶👀

Hi everyone !

I'm an archaeologist fascinated by Prehistoric people and #HumanEvolution, currently finalizing my PhD about #Neanderthal extinction at continental scale to explore the timing and regional causes of their disappearance at @globecoflinders.bsky.social

Happy to start with BlueSky 🤠
