Recent work by Yolanda Fernández-Jalvo and Peter Andrews found that cranial fractures on the Spy 1 Neandertal skull were the likely cause of death of this individual. A new dating scheme places the Spy Neandertals between 44,300 and 40,700 years ago.

The fossils from Caune de l'Arago, France, are around the same age as the large Sima de los Huesos sample of early Neandertals. Whether they represent the same population is not clear. They test our ability to determine relationships with morphology.

Arago 44 is almost certainly not H. erectus. It may be an early Neandertal or another (H. heidelbergensis?) species. OH 28 could possibly be H. erectus, but if so may be a most recent occurrence of the species in Africa. I suspect it's something else.

The Krapina Neandertal sample provides one of the most extensive dental records of any fossil population. Third molars may have erupted a bit earlier in this ancient group than in most people today, although within our extensive range of variability. gy

Apidima 1 may be the earliest European fossil aligned with African ancestors of modern people, more than 210,000 years old. But some specialists suggest it was an ancestor of Neandertals. Of course, it may be both.

The Steinheim skull has been a puzzle in Today, we know that genetic exchanges with Africa influenced early Neandertals, and fossils from Apidima, Greece close in age to Steinheim may reflect this mixing. Why not this one too?
