The Sidrón Cave ((スペイン語:Cueva de El Sidrón)) is an ancient cave in Piloña municipality, Asturias, northwestern Spain, where Paleolithic rock art and Neanderthal remains have been found. It is approximately 600 meters in length. In 1994, Neanderthal remains were inadvertently uncovered inside the cave. Archaeologists have since recovered the remains of at least 12 individuals: three men, three adolescent boys, three women, and three infants. Neanderthal ancient mtDNA was partially sequenced in HVR region for three distinct Neanderthals from El Sidrón cave (441, 1253, and 1351c).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Neandertals have the same mutations in FOXP2, the language gene, as modern humans « )〕 1253 and 1351c have the same mutations at position A-911, G-977 in exon 7 of FOXP2 gene, known as the "language gene", as present-day people.〔Krause et al., "The Derived FOXP2 Variant of Modern Humans Was Shared with Neandertals," ''Current Biology'' (2007), 〕 == See also == * List of fossil sites ''(with link directory)'' * Orce, Atapuerca Mountains, La Cueva de Balzola, Sima de las Palomas, Forbes' Quarry and Devil's Tower (Gibraltar), other important archaeological sites in the Iberian Peninsula, where ancient human remains have been found * Ancient DNA 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sidrón Cave」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
