The Dentition of the Aurignacian Mandible Les Rois 2, France
« L’hospitalité existe dans toutes les cultures »
La mandibule B du site aurignacien de Chez les Rois (Charente)
La grotte Chez les Rois en Charente est l’un des rares sites à avoir livré une série de vestiges humains en association avec de l’Aurignacien. Parmi ces restes humains se trouve un fragment de mandibule droit associé à de l’Aurignacien récent. Ce fragment de mandibule comporte deux dents in situ (P3, P4), ainsi que 3 dents antérieures (I1, I2, C), découvertes isolées à proximité. Les études précédentes réalisées sur ce spécimen n’ont pas permis d…
La Société d'Anthropologie de Paris en action face à l'impact de l'épidémie de Covid-19 sur la communauté des anthropobiologistes
Les maladies, leurs déterminants biologiques et sociaux, ainsi que leurs répercussions sur les sociétés passées et actuelles sont, comme l’illustrent les contributions thématiques regroupées dans ce numéro des BMSAP, au cœur de nombreux travaux d’anthropologues biologistes. Ces dernier·ère·s, s’ils et elles se placent en observateur·trice·s éclairé·e·s et analystes de ces phénomènes, n’en sont toutefois pas moins concerné·e·s par leurs effets. La…
Reconstruction virtuelle 3D du bloc crânio-facial néandertalien immature La Quina 18
La croissance chez les Néandertaliens et les processus ontogéniques qui lui sont associés constituent un sujet encore mal connu et largement débattu. Comprendre les mécanismes ontogéniques liés à l’apparition des caractères spécifiques de cette espèce représente ainsi un enjeu scientifique important, qui se heurte cependant au faible nombre de fossiles immatures bien préservés dont on peut estimer l’âge et identifier les caractères. Au sein de ce…
PaleoBRAIN
La question de la correspondance entre les caractéristiques cérébrales et endocrâniennes est cruciale pour les applications en paléoneurologie et n’a jamais été abordée. Pour ce faire, le projet PaleoBRAIN, financé par l’ANR (ANR-20-CE27-0009), va étudier pour la première fois la corrélation entre la forme du cerveau et celle de l’endocrâne au sein d’un échantillon d’humains actuels en utilisant des acquisitions par imagerie à résonance magnétiqu…
On the Tracks of Neandertals
Hominin tracks represent a unique window into moments in the life of extinct individuals. They can provide biological and locomotor data that are not accessible from skeletal remains. However, these tracks are relatively scarce in the fossil record, particularly those attributed to Neandertals. They are also most often devoid of associated archaeological material, which limits their interpretation. The Palaeolithic site of Le Rozel (Normandy, Fra…
The Palaeolithic site of Roc-en-Pail (Chalonnes-sur-Loire, Maine-et-Loire)
The paleolithic site at Roc-en-Pail was discovered by chance between 1870 and 1871, in the context of quarrying activities when Prehistoric Science was at its youth. Nevertheless the lithic industries were immediate linked to the Moustier type with reference to the pioneer work of É. Lartet and H. Christy. The site was only latter largely excavated by Dr Michel Gruet, in the 1940s and 1950s then in 1969. Excavations archives from Dr Gruet togethe…
Le site paléolithique de Roc-en-Pail (Chalonnes-sur-Loire, Maine-et-Loire)
Le site paléolithique de Roc-en-Pail a été découvert fortuitement entre 1870 et 1871, en marge de l’exploitation d’une carrière alors que la science préhistorique n’en est encore qu’à ses débuts. Néanmoins, dès sa découverte, les industries lithiques sont rapportées au type du Moustier, en référence aux travaux pionniers d’É. Lartet et H. Christy. Il faudra attendre les recherches du Dr Michel Gruet dans les années 1940-1950 puis en 1969, pour qu…
Experimentation preceding innovation in a MIS5 Pre-Still Bay layer from Diepkloof Rock Shelter (South Africa)
In southern Africa, key technologies and symbolic behaviors develop as early as the later Middle Stone Age in MIS5. These innovations arise independently in various places, contexts and forms, until their full expression during the Still Bay and the Howiesons Poort. The Middle Stone Age sequence from Diepkloof Rock Shelter, on the West Coast of the region, preserves archaeological proxies that help unravelling the cultural processes at work. This…
The Middle Pleistocene hominin mandible from Payre (Ardèche, France)
Isolated teeth from La Ferrassie
Based on the previously known fossil samples and the new teeth reported here, there are currently a minimum of four adult and five immature Neandertal individuals coming from the "Grand Abri" and a minimum of two modern human adult individuals: one from "Grand Abri" and one from "Grotte." It is noteworthy that the spatial distribution of the recovered Neandertal remains is not restricted to the area where the LF1-LF 8 were found but now covers th…
The First Anatomically Modern Humans from South-Eastern Europe. Contributions from the Buran-Kaya III Site (Crimea)
The arrival of modern humans into Europe, their dispersal and their potential interactions with Neanderthals are still in debate. Whereas the first appearance of anatomically modern humans in Western Europe seems to be well understood, the situation is quite different for Eastern Europe, where data are more scarce. The Buran-Kaya III site in Crimea is of key importance to understand the colonization of Europe by anatomically modern humans and the…
The Late Neandertal permanent lower left third premolar from Walou Cave (Trooz, Belgium) and its context
We discuss the implications of the existence of a clearly Neandertal premolar dating to the period of the Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition in the Meuse river basin

A Draft Sequence of the Neandertal Genome
Neandertals, the closest evolutionary relatives of present-day humans, lived in large parts of Europe and western Asia before disappearing 30,000 years ago. We present a draft sequence of the Neandertal genome composed of more than 4 billion nucleotides from three individuals. Comparisons of the Neandertal genome to the genomes of five present-day humans from different parts of the world identify a number of genomic regions that may have been aff…
Two new hominin cranial fragments from the Mousterian levels at La Quina (Charente, France)
Nouvelle détermination de la patella néandertalienne H19 de la Quina (Charente)
Re-examination of the Mousterian human remains from the site of La Quina (Charente, France) housed in the Musée des Antiquités Nationales (Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France) has provided us with the opportunity to show that a specimen (H19) considered by L. Henri-Martin as a human patella in fact belonged to a foal aged approximately one month. The aim of this article is to inform the scientific community so that its dimensions will no longer be used…
