Within the last 200 years, we’ve discovered about two dozen species of hominins in Europe, Africa, and Asia—which you can see laid out in this map.
This study uses ecological niche modeling to reconstruct the palaeodistribution of Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans during Marine Isotope Stage 5, identifying the Zagros Mountains as a potential contact and interbreeding zone.
The study identifies two common forms of variation in human brain networks: border shifts and ectopic intrusions.
Border shifts involve changes in the borders between functional areas, while ectopic intrusions are shifts in brain organization at remote locations.
Both forms of variants are heritable but differ in their location, network associations, activations during tasks, and prediction of behavioral phenotypes.
