Paleoproteomics, the study of ancient proteins, is a rapidly growing field at the intersection of
molecular biology, paleontology, archaeology, paleoecology, and history. Paleoproteomics …

The analysis of ancient proteins from paleontological, archeological, and historic materials is
revealing insights into past subsistence practices, patterns of health and disease, evolution …

Determining the extent of overlap between modern humans and other hominins in Eurasia,
such as Neanderthals and Denisovans, is fundamental to understanding the nature of their …

Abstract The Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition in Europe witnessed the replacement
and partial absorption of local Neanderthal populations by Homo sapiens populations of …

Denisovans are members of a hominin group who are currently only known directly from
fragmentary fossils, the genomes of which have been studied from a single site, Denisova …

Although it has previously been shown that Neanderthals contributed DNA to modern
humans,, not much is known about the genetic diversity of Neanderthals or the relationship …

Species determination based on genetic evidence is an indispensable tool in archaeology,

Abstract The stratigraphy at Bacho Kiro Cave, Bulgaria, spans the Middle to Upper
Palaeolithic transition, including an Initial Upper Palaeolithic (IUP) assemblage argued to …

INTRODUCTION A record of the regular exploitation of aquatic foods has been lacking in
Neandertal Europe. By contrast, marine resources feature prominently—alongside personal …

The sequencing of ancient DNA has enabled the reconstruction of speciation, migration and
admixture events for extinct taxa. However, the irreversible post-mortem degradation of …
