Chromatin 3D Structure of Archaic Human Populations and Its Impact on Modern Human Genomes

Most people in Eurasia today carry fragments of DNA inherited from ancient hominins such as Neanderthals and Denisovans. This genetic legacy has influenced traits such as immunity, skin pigmentation, and susceptibility to certain diseases, but the ways in which archaic DNA continues to shape human biology are still not fully understood.

Transitions in early stone tool technologies: a computer vision and machine learning approach

The transition from Oldowan to Acheulean technologies are hypothesised to be concomitant with advances in cognition and behaviour. However, the nature of these shifts, and their cultural and evolutionary implications are poorly defined and understood. While extensive literature exists on these technologies, significant differences in research methods and traditions make comparative and comprehensive analyses problematic.
