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...
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,” explained senior study author John Capra...

How do Neanderthals fit into human evolution? 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 exi...
population retains Neanderthal DNA that may have provided modern humans with adaptive advantages 40,000 years ago as they migrated into new non-African environments with different pathogens and levels of sun exposure. However, many of these traits may no longer be advantageous in modern environments....
Journal of Human Evolution, 52(3), 262-274 The temporal bone is often described as one of the most diagnostic areas for Neanderthals. It is the location of several traits thought to differentiate Neanderthals from modern humans, including some proposed Neanderthal derived traits... P Gunz,K Har...
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 ...

“This new way of using genomic data enabled us to retrieve information about our human life traits buried in the past, which complements what can be learned from archaeology about our history,” says Professor Mikkel Heide Schierup, leader of the project. ...
