Could anyone please suggest bibliographic references about the second metacarpal bones of neanderthal and paleolithic human? Thank you!
Thank you very much dear Luis! It is very interesting article.
I agree, and you should also check Lorenzo's other works including his PhD Thesis. If there is one guy specialized in Pre-sapiens hands, it's him. Check out other articles by him, as well:

Dear Sergei,
This is interesting, and most valuable to understand modern Humans.
Thank you for your question. I have been trying to unsderstand the anatomy of the human hand, from the perspective of functional and evolutionary adaptations, for some years, now, as I chose this subject for my first academic works, as an anatomist.
You'll find some important comments and bibliographic references on a question I proposed, last year and arose several interesting contributes

The November issue of National Geographic included a long report on recent escavations for humanoid skeletons, in South Africa, showing a complete skeleton of humanoid hand with oponency capacity and a trapezio-meatacarpal joint very similar to modern humans.

Thank you, Claudia! You're always helping me! I really appreciate it! I'll get in touch with Lorenzo!
Thank you, Maria)
This is a very interesting topic (anatomy of the human hand). But it is difficult to find information, while in Russia ...
all the best
Sergey

Dear Sergey,
a left second metacarpal of Neanderhal man is described in this paper (p. 581-582, fig. 2A):
