The adult BOU-VP-16/1 shows a weak, thin 35 mm (1.4 in) vertical cut on the bottom corner of his right parietal bone, and another smaller vertical line across the right temporal line. The adult BOU-VP-16/2 bears intense modification of 15 of his 24 associated skullcap fragments, as well as deep cut marks consistent with defleshing on his ...
The number of mammaries is now reduced to only one thoracic pair. Platyrrhines, New World monkeys, have prehensile tails and males are color blind. The individuals whose descendants would become Platyrrhini are conjectured to have migrated to South America either on a raft of vegetation or via a land bridge (the hypothesis now favored [27]).
A modern human (left) and Neanderthal (right) skeleton at the American Museum of Natural History Neanderthals were short and stocky. Average male body mass index would have been 26.9–28.2 (overweight) using a size of 164 to 168 cm (5 ft 5 in to 5 ft 6 in) and 76 kg (168 lb).
Human DNA recovered from remains found in Europe is revealing our species’ shared history with Neanderthals. ... 43,500 years ago — not long before the now extinct Neanderthals began to ...

Reconstruction of early Homo sapiens from Jebel Irhoud, Morocco c. 315 000 years BP. Early modern human (EMH), or anatomically modern human (AMH), [1] are terms used to distinguish Homo sapiens (sometimes Homo sapiens sapiens) that are anatomically consistent with the range of phenotypes seen in contemporary humans, from extinct archaic human species (of which some are at times also identified ...
