New insights into the Neanderthal pelvis morphology based on a partial os coxae from El Sidrón (Asturias, Spain)

Key Points

• Findings reveal unique features of Neanderthal pelvis morphology, which challenge previous assumptions.
• Unique morphological details were identified from a partial os coxae fossil dated approximately 49,000 years old.
• Observational analysis based on anthropometric measurements from fossils, providing new insights into anatomical variations.
• Results indicate significant implications for understanding hominin evolution; further interdisciplinary studies are warranted.
