All the myths and scientific evidence surrounding Neanderthals will be addressed in the conference “Neanderthal: memories of a fossil”, to be held on 2 and 3 May at the Parc Cient\u00edfic de Barcelona<\/i>(PCB, Barcelona Science Park), on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the HOMINID – Study Group on Human Origins <\/a>, located at the PCB and promoted by the archaeologist Jordi Serrallonga at the University of Barcelona. On 2 May 1996, the HOMINID group was constituted in an act held in the Aula Magna<\/i> of the Faculty of Biology and was chaired by Phillip V. Tobias (Universitat de Witwatersrand, Republic of South Africa), Jordi Sabater i Pi (emeritus professor of the UB) and John Desmond Clark (University of California, Berkeley). During these ten years, the group has been present in international forums and has excelled in providing research support and dissemination activities about the origin, evolution and behaviour of the first hominids from a new multidisciplinary perspective.<\/p>\n

“Neanderthal: memories of a fossil” will give a multidisciplinary view of Neanderthal paleoanthropology, archaeology and genetics, and coincides with the 150th anniversary of the discover of the remains in the Neander valley. The first Homo neanderthalensis<\/i> fossils were discovered in 1830 in the Engis cave (Belgium) and in 1848 in the Forbes quarry in Gibraltar. However, at that time they were not identified. In 1864, the Irish anatomist William King gave the first definition of the new species: Homo neanderthalensis<\/i>. Neanderthals are one of the most studied and largest fossil record in archeological and paleontologic remains from the Palaeolithic period. Neanderthals were distributed throughout Europe and western Asia from about 200,000 to 30,000 years ago and the Iberian peninsula marked the south-western distributional limit. Neanderthals knew how to use fire, they had used complex tools and buried their dead (in the Shanidar cave, Iraq, evidence of pollen has been found in a burial ground). After coexisting with Cro-Magnons (the first modern humans or Homo sapiens<\/i>Homo sapiens) for almost ten thousand years, Neanderthals disappeared. Evidence indicates that Neanderthals have not made a significant contribution to the genetic profile of modern humans. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
