Ancient DNA Reveals a Distinct Neanderthal Lineage That Evolved Separately for Over 50,000 Years
A recent discovery of Neanderthal DNA from a fossil named Thorin has revealed a previously unknown evolutionary path. Thorin’s lineage reportedly remained isolated from other Neanderthal populations for nearly 50,000 years. The DNA evidence suggests that this group evolved separately in Europe without intermingling with other Neanderthals or earl...

New Study Reveals How Much Neanderthal DNA Still Exists In Modern Humans
Recent scientific findings have revealed that Neanderthal genes compose 1 to 4 per cent of the genome of modern-day humans whose ancestors moved out of Africa.

Neanderthal DNA In Patients Can Make COVID-19 Severe: Study
Covid-19 patients with a snippet of Neanderthal DNA that crossed into the human genome some 60,000 years ago run a higher risk of severe complications from the disease, researchers have reported.

Neanderthals And Humans Interbred 100,000 Years Ago: Study
Neanderthals may have been mating with modern humans 100,000 years ago, tens of thousands of years earlier than previously thought, a new study based on several different methods of DNA analysis has found.
