| genomic differentiation of neanderthals and anatomically modern man allows a fossil-dna-based classification of morphologically indistinguishable hominid bones. | southern blot hybridizations of genomic dna were introduced as a relatively simple fossil-dna-based approach to classify remains of neanderthals. when hybridized with genomic dna of either human or neanderthal origin, dna extracted from two neanderthal finds-the os parietale, from warendorf-neuwarendorf, germany, and a clavicula, from krapina, croatia-was shown to yield hybridization signals that differ by at least a factor of two compared to the signals obtained with the use of fossil dna of an ... | 2000 | 10788336 |
