Evolutionary and functional analyses of LRP5 in archaic and extant modern humans

Evolutionary and functional analyses of LRP5 in archaic and extant modern humans

Abstract Background The human lineage has undergone a postcranial skeleton gracilization (i.e. lower bone mass and strength relative to body size) compared to other primates and archaic populations such as the Neanderthals. This gracilization has been traditionally explained by differences in the me...
