However,Sarah Tishkoff, a geneticist at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia not involved in the project, says it is possible that interbreeding introduced traits into a few human populations. “It will be interesting to look at other ethnic groups and other Neanderthals,” she says. Do...
"Our main finding is that Neanderthal DNA does influence clinical traits in modern humans: We discovered associations between Neanderthal DNA and a wide range of traits, including immunological, dermatological, neurological, psychiatric and reproductive diseases," said John Capra, senior author of the p...
Neanderthal hand remains are usually compared to those of recent humans because recent human samples are readily available. These comparisons demonstrate that Neanderthal hand morphologies are at or beyond the range of recent human samples for traits such as: expanded distal tuberosities, rugose ...

How much DNA do humans share with the great apes? What are Neanderthal traits in modern humans? How many hominids existed at the time of Homo sapiens? Are Homo sapiens descended from Neanderthals? Are Neanderthals human? How many hominids have existed? Does Neanderthal DNA still exist? How ...
The researchers also looked for signs of "selective sweeps" - strong natural selection acting to boost traits in modern humans. They found 212 regions where positive selection may have been taking place. The scientists are interested in discovering genes that distinguish modern humans from Neanderthal...
In the first tab of the excel spreadsheet the Neanderthal genetic score for 271 phenotypes (145 quantitative traits and 132 case control phenotypes). The number of samples for each phenotype (or case and controls) are provided for each phenotype along with effect size and and p-value. The eff...
We carry within us physical evidence of the developmental processes and biological traits that humans share with all — yes, all — other organisms. Read More Paleontology and Primate Evolution What, if anything, unites primates as a single group, and how do primate adaptations reflects our ...
I can tell you almost nothing about this protagonist other than the fact that I found her delightful. Everything else I want to say would wander too close to spoiler territory because of how long it took the author to explain some of her character’s most enduring traits. ...
