A study of the inner ear bones of Neanderthals shows a significant loss of diversity in their shape around 110,000 years ago, ...

Rearranging a Genetic Timeline According to the study, the results show that classic Neanderthals had a lower morphological diversity of the semicircular canals than pre-Neanderthals. “We were ...

They then move to the fluid-filled, motion-sensing semicircular canals. If enough otoconia accumulate in any of the canals, it can disrupt the fluid movement the canals use to detect head motion.

It is widely accepted that results obtained from studying the morphological diversity of the semicircular canals are comparable to those obtained through DNA comparisons. The study focused on two ...

Groundbreaking research finds that Neanderthals experienced a severe population crash 110,000 years ago, challenging past ...

Examination of semicircular canals of ear shows Neanderthals experienced 'bottleneck' event where physical and genetic variation was lost. A new study by an international team of scholars ...
