Virtual Reconstruction and Comparative Analyses of the Middle Pleistocene Apidima 2 Cranium (Greece)

Abstract: The Apidima 2 fossil cranium from South Peloponnese is one of the most important hominin specimens from Southeast Europe. Nevertheless, there has been continuous controversy as to whether it represents a so-called Preneandertal/Homo heidelbergensis such as, for example, the Petralona cranium from Northern Greece or a more derived Neandertal. Recent absolute dating evidence alone cannot clarify the issue because both classifications would be possible during the respective Middle Pleistocene time span. Since onl… Show more

“…Further, Guercy 1 possesses certain features, particularly of the frontal bone, which differentiate it from most other MIS 7–MIS 5e Neanderthals. Whether these features relate to idiosyncratic variation, as observed in the Spy Neanderthals (Thoma, 1975b), or represent features linked to specific paleodemes, as discussed by Guipert et al (2011) for remains from Biache Saint Vasast, de Lumley and Giacobini (2013) for the La Fate remains, or Bräuer et al (2020) for the Apidima remains, must await further assessments.…”

“…Although fossil evidence of European hominins associated with the Last Interglacial is both fragmentary and sparse, they have consistently been described as having a total morphological pattern (sensu LeGros Clark, 1964) that is similar to MIS 7–MIS 6 Neanderthals. For this reason, we follow Vandermeersch (1984), Condemi (1988), Martínez and Arsuaga (1997), Dean et al (1998), Hawks and Wolpoff (2001), Verna et al (2010), Guipert et al (2011), Arnaud et al (2015), and Bräuer et al (2020) in augmenting the European hominin sample associated with MIS 5e with morphologically similar individuals recovered from deposits spanning MIS 7–MIS 6 (243–130 ky). European hominins associated with MIS 8 may also be included in this group but are only potentially represented by the small craniodental sample from the lower levels at Payre in Southeastern France (Moncel et al, 2008; Moncel & Condemi, 2007; Valladas et al, 2008).…”

“…nine for each of the five Krapina fossils (Table 3). (Braüer et al, 2020;Bruner & Manzi, 2008;DeSilva, 2018;Rougier, 2003); and later Würm Neandertals (DeSilva, 2018). We further examined two subsets of the Würm Neandertals: only those with virtual reconstruction estimates using methods used in this study (Neubauer et al, 2018;VanSickle et al, in press), and a larger sample with additional values derived from more traditional methods (gleaned from DeSilva, 2018).…”
