Interactions of Neanderthals and Modern Humans: What Can Be Inferred from Mitochondrial DNA? by Krzysztof A. Cyran, Marek Kimmel

“…The branching-process method is applied to infer the upper limit of hypothetical Neanderthal admixture, consistent with the evidence based on mitochondrial DNA sequences of contemporary modern humans, as well as Neanderthal and early modern European H. sapiens fossils. As a result, a maximum value of 15% admixture is obtained. …”

The Cambrian Explosion: macroevolution and biomineralization by Mark A. S. McMenamin

“…The diversity of biomineralization types among the small shelly fossils of the early Cambrian can be explained if putative ancestral scleritome-bearers (found in both Proterozoic and Cambrian strata) had, as some new data suggest, intact scleritomes that hosted individual sclerites of varying biomineral composition.…”
