The ESRF reveals how Neanderthal teeth grew

Scientists from the United Kingdom, France and Italy have studied teeth from Neanderthals with X-rays from the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). They found that the dental development of Neanderthals is very similar to modern humans.

1. DNA analysis reveals rapid population shift among Pleistocene cave bears
   02-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Studying DNA obtained from teeth of ancient cave bears, researchers have been able to identify a shift in a particular population of the bears inhabiting a European valley in the late Pleistocene era. The findings illustrate the ability of DNA sequence analysis to reveal aspects of animal population dynamics in the distant past and potentially illuminate the influence of human migrations in animal population changes.

2. Dental crowns reveal the diet of a species:
   12-14-2006 · EurekAlert!
   According to recent research, the complexity of tooth surfaces reveals the diet of a species. Scientists at the University of Helsinki's Institute of Biotechnology and Department of Geology showed that the more complex the surface of an animal's teeth, the greater the share of vegetables in its diet. For instance, the teeth of carnivores and rodents differ in almost every aspect, but if a carnivore and a rodent eat similar food, their teeth are equally complex. The results were published in Nature.

4. Genetic study of Neanderthal DNA reveals early split between humans and Neanderthals
   11-15-2006 · EurekAlert!
   In the most thorough study to date of the Neanderthal genome, scientists suggest an early human-Neanderthal split. The two species have a common ancestry, say the authors, but do not share much else after evolving their separate ways. The study, published in this week's issue of Science, also finds no evidence of genetic admixture between Neanderthals and humans.

   The veil of mystery surrounding our extinct hominid cousins, the Neanderthals, has been at least partially lifted to reveal surprising results. Scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the Joint Genome Institute (JGI) have sequenced genomic DNA from fossilized Neanderthal bones.

   In the first test of a new radar instrument, scientists have seen through more than a mile of Greenland ice to reveal an image of land that has been hidden for millions of years. Ohio State University scientists and their colleagues will use what they learn from the instrument, dubbed GISMO (for Global Ice Sheet Mapping Orbiter), to determine how global climate change will affect the ice.

8. Study of malaria parasites reveals new parasitic states
   11-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Although malaria parasites have undergone extensive laboratory study, relatively little is known about how they behave in humans to cause disease. Newly published data from a study of malaria-infected human blood reveal two biological states of the parasite Plasmodium falciparum not observed under laboratory conditions. This information may help scientists develop new strategies for treating malaria.

9. ESRF helps reveal the origin of the Solar System
   12-15-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Particles returned to Earth last January by the Stardust spacecraft from comet Wild two are yielding precious information about the origin of the solar system, thanks to the X-rays produced at several of the world's synchrotron facilities, including the ESRF. Although the particles are tiny, the beams available at synchrotrons can be even smaller, enabling researchers to illuminate the cometary material and determine the distribution of elements within the particles without damaging them.
