Industry:Archaeology
The theory, mainly applied to Europe, that proposes two separate human lineages can be found in the Middle Pleistocene. One lineage (presapiens) evolved directly into modern H. sapiens populations and closely resembles these modern forms at an early date. The second lineage (preneanderthals) evolved into the European Neanderthal populations of the earlier Wurm glaciation and subsequently became extinct.
Industry:Archaeology
The theory, mainly applied to Europe, that proposes two separate lineages can be found in the Middle or Late Pleistocene. It posits that Neanderthals diverged from a line leading to modern Europeans just before they became specialized.
Industry:Archaeology
The use of restriction fragment length polymorphisms DNA analysis to identify an individual.
Industry:Archaeology
Warm-blooded animals of similar shape tend to be larger in cold climates because larger animals tend to lose heat less rapidly than the smaller ones.
Industry:Archaeology
A classification system devised by C.J. Thomsen for the sequence of technological periods (stone, bronze, and iron) in Old World prehistory. It established the principle that by classifying artifacts, one could produce a chronological ordering.
Industry:Archaeology
A collection of experimental procedures that allow molecular biologists to splice a DNA fragment from one organism into DNA from another organism and to clone the new recombinant DNA molecule. It includes the development and application of particular molecular techniques, such as biotechnology or genetic engineering. This technology is important, for example, in the production of antibiotics, hormones, and other medical agents used in the diagnosis and treatment of certain genetic diseases.
Industry:Archaeology
A conceptual framework linking raw archaeological data with higher-level generalizations and conclusions about the past which can be derived from this evidence.
Industry:Archaeology
An enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of RNA molecules from a DNA template in a process called trascription.
