Neandertal Genetics

The recent discussion regarding Neandertal molecular studies (P. Kahn and A. Gibbons, Research News, 11 July, p. 176) suggests that other Neandertal and Cro- Magnon specimens should be examined for modern human mitochondrial haplotypes to further test multiregionalism (1). A Neandertal sequence from another site would also corroborate the initial study (2) and provide valuable data about the population structure of this temporally and spatially diverse group. To investigate the possibility that Paleolithic sites other than the Neander valley will be amenable to molecular investigation, we examined remains from four important Neandertal and Cro-Magnon sites in southern Europe, plus control samples of similar or younger age that are known to contain ancient DNA.
