“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...

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...
2006. Non-metric variation in recent humans as a model for understanding Neanderthal-early mod- ern human differences: just how "unique" are Nean- derthal unique traits? In: Harvati, K. and Harrison, T. (eds.), Neanderthals Revisited: New Approaches and Per- spectives. Springer: Dordrecht...
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...
It is the location of several traits thought to differentiate Neanderthals from modern humans, including some proposed Neanderthal derived traits... P Gunz,K Harvati - 《Journal of Human Evolution》 被引量: 176发表: 2007年 Strontium isotope evidence of Neanderthal mobility at the site of Lakonis...
Diversity Project (there is little evidence for Neanderthal and Denisovan ancestry in Africans). The analysis was carried out by a machine-learning algorithm that could differentiate between components of both kinds of ancestral DNA, which are more similar to one another than to modern humans. ...
It is widely accepted that modern humans first arrived in Europe from the southeast, bearing the Aurignacian culture, and replaced the Neanderthals. The latest MP assemblages have been documented in the Iberian peninsula at sites such as Gorham's Cave, Gibraltar at 28,000 ya (Finlayson 2006; ...
It also turns out that, for one gene in particular, if you carry the Neandertal mutation, "you have slightly lower risk ofschizophrenia【精神分裂症】. And you also have slightly increased height on average." The Neandertals left their mark on lots of modern human traits, in addition toschiz...
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 ...
