“…In comparison to modern human morphology, Neanderthals have strongly laterally curved radial shafts, anteroposteriorly expanded radial heads and both absolutely and relatively long necks (Boule, 1911; De Groote, 2011; Trinkaus, 1983; Trinkaus & Churchill, 1988). Neanderthal ulna remains are characterized by a curved diaphysis, with a posterior subtense, anteriorly facing trochlear notch, and a very anteroposterior projected insertion for m. pronator quadratus (De Groote, 2011; Pérez‐Criado & Rosas, 2017; Trinkaus, 1983; Trinkaus & Churchill, 1988). This morphology is believed to support more powerful pronation‐supination and flexion‐extension movements.…”

“…The Neanderthal ulna is defined as a gracile (Trinkaus, 1983), and the proximal ulna is described as having a more anteriorly facing trochlear notch than in modern humans (De Groote, 2011; Trinkaus & Churchill, 1988). The m. pronator quadratus crest in Neanderthals is very pronounced, although the interosseous crest is poorly developed as it is on the radius (Aiello & Dean, 1990; De Groote, 2011; Pérez‐Criado & Rosas, 2017; Trinkaus & Churchill, 1988).…”

The forearm skeleton is composed of two bones: the radius and the ulna. This is closely related to manipulative movements. The ulna is part of the elbow joint, whereas the radius and ulna together with the scaphoid and lunate bones, form the wrist joints. Thus, morphofunctional analysis of the adult Sima de los Huesos (SH) forearm bones, provides clues about manipulative activities in one Pleistocene population. From 1976 to the present, over 7000 human fossils have been recovered from the SH site. The radial sample comprised 98 labeled fragments, of which 49 belonged to adult individuals, representing at least 7 individuals. The ulnar sample included 31 labeled adult fossils representing at least nine individuals. In this study, we describe the SH radii and ulnae and analyze their functional implications for manipulative and forearm movements. We confirmed that the SH radii are long and curved, with variations in robusticity and radial tuberosity orientation. The SH ulnae are characterized by an anteriorly oriented trochlear notch, a massive olecranon process, an obliquely oriented radial notch, a blunt and short supinator crest, a gracile and curved diaphysis, and a round and anteriorly oriented pronator crests. In general, they exhibit Neanderthal morphology. The SH collection provides a unique opportunity to conduct morphological analyses of these bones in the Middle Pleistocene population.

“…Concretamente, la cueva de El Sidrón es el yacimiento ibérico -y casi mundial-con mayor registro Neandertal (más de 2.000 restos fósiles), siendo representados un número mínimo de 13 individuos de diferentes estados ontogenéticos (Rosas et al, 2013) que datan de unos 0,049 Ma (Wood et al, 2012) y donde se han observado marcas de canibalismo (Rosas et al, 2006a). Además, en esta muestra, es destacar que el equipo de investigación ha realizado (y sigue realizando) estudios sistemáticos de todas y cada una de las partes esqueléticas representadas con el fin de poder entender el porqué de la peculiar morfología corporal Neandertal (Rosas et al, 2015(Rosas et al, , 2016(Rosas et al, , 2017Pérez-Criado y Rosas, 2017;Rodríguez-Pérez et al, 2018;Bastir et al, 2015Bastir et al, , 2017García-Martínez et al, 2017.

¿Dónde están los fósiles manchegos? El sesgo en el registro Paleontológico del Pleistoceno de La Mancha

El Pleistoceno es la franja geológica comprendida entre 1,806 y 0,0117 millones de años atrás. La Península Ibérica cuenta con un registro Paleontológico importante de esta época, aunque hay un hiato de yacimientos de esta cronología en algunas áreas peninsulares, como es el caso de La Mancha. Aunque bien es cierto que, si contemplamos también el registro arqueológico Paleolítico, podemos encontrar más referencias, estas normalmente tratan de yacimientos donde el contexto es dudoso o ausente. El motivo de la carencia de fósiles, a mi parecer, no es una realidad de sesgo, ya que las regiones circundantes presentan buen registro, y el registro arqueológico apoya la presencia de homínidos fósiles en la zona. Es probable que dicha carencia obedezca a una falta de dedicación por parte de la academia e instituciones manchegas, así como al uso eminentemente agrícola de la tierra en La Mancha, que también puede haber propiciado que los yacimientos al aire libre se alteren o se pierdan. Futuros trabajos han de ir encaminados a la búsqueda de yacimientos de cronologías pleistocenas en la zona.

The Neandertal talocrural joint morphology is influenced by body size. The other Neandertal talus traits do not co-vary with it or not follow the same co-variation pattern as MH. Besides, the trochlear hypertrophy, the trochlear rims equality and the short neck could be inherited primitive features; the medial malleolar facet morphology could be an inherited primitive feature or a secondarily primitive trait; and the calcaneal posterior facet would be an autapomorphic feature of the Neandertal lineage.
