Current Biology is a general journal that publishes original research across all areas of biology together with an extensive and varied set of editorial sections. A primary aim of the journal is to foster communication across fields of biology, both by publishing important findings of general interest from diverse fields and through highly accessible editorial articles that explicitly aim to inform non-specialists.
Neanderthals carried a growth hormone receptor that signals more strongly in cultured cells than the common modern version. Adults who inherited it average slightly more muscle mass, a marginally shorter jaw ramus and shorter tooth roots.
