Recent studies show that modern humans interbred with Neanderthals, which played a vital role in their survival and success after leaving Africa. While previous assumptions highlighted a straightforward expansion of humans, evidence suggests that only those who mingled genetically with…
Recent studies reveal that modern humans, or Homo sapiens, may owe their survival to interbreeding with Neanderthals. Research indicates that early human populations went extinct multiple times before successfully dispersing globally. The genetic analysis shows that only those who mixed…
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology have successfully analyzed the oldest genome of a modern human, dating back 45,000 years, found in the Ilsenhöhle, Germany. The study provides insights into early human appearance and confirms the timing…
