Tens of thousands of years ago, modern humans mated with Neanderthals. But exactly how and when that happened, and who those ...

it uses previously sequenced modern and ancient human genomes to evaluate how the parts of human DNA that contained Neanderthal ancestry evolved over time. In addition to confirming the time ...

This Neanderthal DNA might have given us "better adaptive capabilities outside of Africa," said Chris Stringer of London's Natural History Museum to the outlet. Early humans "had evolved in Africa ...
