Abstract

Based on genetic evidence collected from multiple individuals at a single site, Lalueza-Fox et al. (1) suggest that Neandertals exhibited patrilocality, a dispersal system in which males stay in their natal groups and females emigrate. Although contemporary human populations often exhibit patrilocality, flexible movement by both sexes is more typical for contemporary human forager populations, making it unclear what pattern we should expect for ancient humans.
