Néandertal et HLA: La Signature Africaine D’un Système Immunitaire Ancien

Dans le ventre de l’évolution humaine
Aujourd’hui notre espèce, Homo sapiens, est la seule espèce humaine présente sur notre Planète. Il n’en a pas toujours été ainsi. Ce qui surprend le plus c’est que son expansion hors d’Afrique s’accompagne très rapidement de la disparition des autres espèces humaines qu’elle rencontre sur son chemin — des groupes pourtant bien adaptés depuis des centaines de milliers d’années. En Europe, Néandertal disparaît ; en Asie, ce sont les humains de Deni…

Le panorama du Paléolithique supérieur vu par les groupes sanguins
La paléogénétique des groupes sanguins s’est invitée dans les débats relatifs à la compréhension de l’histoire évolutive des Néandertaliens et des Dénisoviens. Notamment, Denisova 5 (le Néandertalien de l’Altaï), Vindija_33.19 et Chagyrskaya_8 possèdent des allèles ancestraux, fréquents aujourd’hui en Afrique sub-saharienne, ainsi qu’un "rhésus" rarissime dont une partie est retrouvée en Océanie. Nous avons voulu tester si cette diversité génétiq…

L'histoire évolutive de Neandertal et Denisova vue par les systèmes des groupes sanguins
Malgré une cartographie toujours plus fine des génomes de Néandertal et de Denisova, on sait peu de choses sur les groupes sanguins des globules rouges de ces populations archaïques. Notre objectif est d’identifier le polymorphisme des groupes sanguins néandertaliens et denisoviens afin de retracer la diversité humaine archaïque et actuelle, puis de discuter des aspects sanitaires et des vulnérabilités des populations archaïques. Nous avons analy…
Structural organization and tooth development in a Homo aff. erectus juvenile mandible from the Early Pleistocene site of Garba IV at Melka Kunture, Ethiopian highlands
OBJECTIVES: The immature partial mandible GAR IVE from the c. 1.7 Ma old Garba IV site at Melka Kunture (Upper Awash Basin, Ethiopia), the earliest human representative from a mountain-like environment, represents one of the oldest early Homo specimens bearing a mixed dentition. Following its first description (Condemi, ), we extended the analytical and comparative record of this specimen by providing unreported details about its inner morphology…
Vergisson 4: A left‐handed N eandertal
The identification of another left-handed Neandertal adds to our understanding about handedness variation in this fossil hominin. Given the high frequency of right-handed Neandertals, the 90: 10 modern ratio is still preserved in this group
Evaluating the Consistency, Repeatability, and Reproducibility of Osteometric Data on Dry Bone Surfaces, Scanned Dry Bone Surfaces, and Scanned Bone Surfaces Obtained from Living Individuals
Applying dry bone osteometrics to virtual bone surfaces obtained via medical imaging raises the question of consistency between the variables. Variables obtained from virtual bone surfaces also need to be sufficiently repeatable and reproducible to be valid for anthropological studies. This is also true for the landmarks defining these variables and for their acquisition. The consistency between variables taken directly from dry bones and from th…

Toothpick use among Epigravettian Humans from Grotta Paglicci (Italy)
This paper deals with two teeth (an upper right M1 and an upper right dM2) from the Epigravettian found in the site of Paglicci (Southern Italy) showing interproximal grooves that are situated below the crown, on the root walls just apical to the cementum-enamel junction. These grooves have been examined on a digital microscope which displays 3D images of the analysed surfaces. The images obtained made it possible to interpret these interproximal…
From corpse to bones: Funerary rituals of the Taforalt Iberomaurusian population
The funerary practices of the Taforalt population (Morocco, about 15-12500 Cal BP), already investigated by the authors in previous studies, were reconstructed through anthropological analyses of human remains (excavated by J. Roche in the 1950s) and examination of the available field documentation. The results indicated that the burial area included primary and secondary depositions, sometimes within the same grave, of approximately 40 adolescen…

Analyse comparative structurale des diaphyses fémorales néandertaliennes BD 5 (MIS 5e) et CDV-Tour 1 (MIS 3) de La Chaise-de-Vouthon, Charente, France
Les diaphyses fémorales néandertaliennes BD 5 (MIS 5e), représentant un jeune adulte de sexe féminin, et CDV-Tour 1 (MIS 3), un sujet adulte de sexe masculin, proviennent tous les deux du site de La Chaise-de-Vouthon, en Charente, mais sont séparées d’environ 80 000 ans. Dans le but de mettre en évidence d’éventuels changements évolutifs de nature morpho-structurelle au cours de ce laps de temps, nous présentons ici l’analyse comparative de leur …

Cervical and crown outline analysis of worn Neanderthal and modern human lower second deciduous molars
Despite the general increase in digital techniques for dental morphometric analyses, only a few methods are available to study worn teeth. Moreover, permanent dentitions are studied much more frequently than deciduous teeth. In this study, we address both issues by providing a taxonomic classification of Neanderthal and modern human (MH) lower second deciduous molars (dm 2 s) through the analysis of crown and cervical outlines. Crown and cervical…

Neanderthals versus Modern Humans: Evidence for Resource Competition from Isotopic Modelling
During later MOIS3, in Europe two populations were present, autochthonous Neanderthals and modern humans. Ecological competition between these two populations has often been evoked but never demonstrated. Our aim is to establish whether resource competition occurred. In this paper, in order to examine the possibility of ecological competition between these two populations, 599 isotopic data were subjected to rigorous statistical treatment and ana…

Génétique et paléoanthropologie: Deux approches pour un dialogue autour des Néandertaliens
Depuis la première découverte de fossiles néandertaliens, les paléoanthropologues se sont intéressés à ce taxon et ont apporté des réponses visant à expliquer son histoire et son extinction. À partir de 1997, la paléogénétique a commencé, elle aussi, à étudier la question, en s’appuyant sur l’analyse de l’ADN mitochondrial (l’ADNmt) puis sur celle de l’ADN nucléaire (l’ADNn) d’une quinzaine de fossiles répartis entre l’Europe et l’Asie. Dans cett…
Funerary practices of the Iberomaurusian population of Taforalt (Tafoughalt, Morocco, 11-12,000 BP): The case of Grave XII
Genetic Evidence of Geographical Groups among Neanderthals
The Neanderthals are a well-distinguished Middle Pleistocene population which inhabited a vast geographical area extending from Europe to western Asia and the Middle East. Since the 1950s paleoanthropological studies have suggested variability in this group. Different sub-groups have been identified in western Europe, in southern Europe and in the Middle East. On the other hand, since 1997, research has been published in paleogenetics, carried ou…

Masticatory and non‐masticatory dental modifications in the epipalaeolithic necropolis of Taforalt (Morocco)
In this study, we used standardized methods to investigate masticatory and non‐masticatory dental alterations (chipping, notches, interproximal grooves) in teeth from the epipalaeolithic necropolis of Taforalt (Morocco, about 12,000–11,000 BP). The particular distribution of some of the alterations could be related to avulsion of the upper central incisors, a systematic ritual characterizing all adult individuals of the necropolis. Because of thi…

Des restes humains dans le site paléolithique moyen ancien de Payre (Ardèche): Dents et pariétal
Le site Paléolithique moyen ancien de Payre est fouillé depuis 1990. Les datations radiométriques donnent un âge compris entre les stades isotopiques 7 à 5. En 1994 ont été mises au jour deux dents humaines dans la couche la plus profonde G. En 1995, deux nouvelles dents, toujours dans la même couche, sont découvertes. La campagne 1996 a livré encore d'autres restes humains : deux dents dans la couche G, une dent dans la couche D et surtout un fr…
