However, identifying changes to regulatory elements that underlie human-specific traits has proven very challenging. Here, we use 63 reconstructed and experimentally measured DNA methylation maps of ancient and present-day humans, as well as of six chimpanzees, to detect differentially methylated regions that likely emerged in modern humans after the split from Neanderthals and Denisovans. We show that genes associated with face and vocal tract anatomy went through particularly extensive methylation changes. Specifically, we identify widespread hypermethylation in a network of face- and voice-associated genes (SOX9, ACAN, COL2A1, NFIX and XYLT1). We propose that these repression patterns appeared after the split from Neanderthals and Denisovans, and that they might have played a key role in shaping the modern human face and vocal tract.

Los nuevos trabajos permiten registrar sus limites oriental y meridional con lo que, junto con los ya conocidos al norte y poniente, completan una propuesta de reconstruccion de la planta del edificio. EnglishRecent excavations at the Roman camp of Legio VII Gemina at Leon have uncovered evidence of the implementation and dimensions of principia, a major building at any Roman camp. The new excavations registered its eastern and southern boundaries which together with the known north and west, completing a proposed reconstruction of the building.

These sites, placed on very high and steep crags, also appear in similar geographical areas in the Sierra de la Culebra.

of a chance find in Monte de La Candamia, near the city of León. It is a tomb in which human remains
belonging to 9 individuals were recovered, associated with knapped and polished lithic industry as a
whole baggage of material culture, dated to the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC. This archaeological
site, either in its exclusively funerary expression –a non-megalithic tomb bearing the tradition of
dolmenic collective burials– or as habitation sites, are extremely rare so far in the province of León,
where the Final Neolithic-Chalcolithic times are very poorly known.

Data obtained from the interpretation of LiDAR-derived Digital Terrain Models (DTM) as well as historical orthophotographs of the Sierra de Carpurias, especially to the east of Las Labradas-El Marrón hillfort, are presented. It is suggested that these data represent significant evidence pointing to the existence of a roman camp and a possible castellum, which could have formed part of siege works established by the Romans to conquer that important oppidum of the Astures.
