Vo'hounâ Prancing Horse and


To celebrate the recent publication of the result of the work of Svante Pääbo and his team at the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig, I wanted to present this archive image, namely the first sketch and color the couple Vo'hounâ Prancing Horse, a Neanderthal and a modern sapiens whose romance is the main plot of my first prehistoric saga comics. it's been a long time to come because I was unable to lay hands on the original of this painting that dates all the same there are more than 10 years (10 years!), but finally I found today, so good.

Good. Vo'hounâ connoisseurs will find that the appearance of the lady has a lot changed between this first and final color (another watercolor dated 2005 by ), Especially for hair color. For the necklace hooks on the front, I decided to remove it could be dangerous! Moreover it from cover exchanged against a bear skull full, it is not much more reasonable ... Anyway, there was already the eyes of honey. And above all there was the essential idea of a meeting and a love story between sapiens and Neanderthal.

This idea, in short, that the discovery of the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig has "credit" scientifically. I am very happy. I remember two words in the recent analysis of a large part of the nuclear DNA from Neanderthal reveals that we, modern humans owe a significant part of our genetic heritage (1 to 4% - except Africans who are pure sapiens!), the result of interbreeding, but probably not many proven, likely occurring during the first phase of meeting sapiens (archaic then ) and Neanderthals, somewhere in the middle east, there is a little less than a hundred thousand years. Hence suggesting that other such interbreeding may have occurred during the second phase meeting in europe there are 30 to 40 000 years, there is not one that I passed with pleasure and dreaming. .. And hoping that new discoveries of our leading researchers will turn those dreams into reality.

For those at the bottom of the class who have not yet heard about this discovery, a few items very clear to see the site of the World * and Hominidés.com . And, anyway, the site of Science that published the results of the work, with a special folder on the issue.

error * warning: the first picture that illustrates the article is not that of a Neanderthal, but a Homo ergaster (the youth of Lake Turkana, reconstituted E. Daynes).
