Modern Humans and Neanderthals Had Kids for 7,000 Years and the Legacy Lives in Our Genes
Roughly 50,000 years ago, two species of humans met in the shadow of Eurasian ice sheets. One, Homo sapiens, had just embarked on its conquest of the world after leaving Africa. The other, Homo neanderthalensis,
Modern human ancestors and Neanderthals mated during a 7,000-year-long 'pulse,' 2 new studies reveal
An analysis of genomes from some of the earliest modern humans to live in Europe reveals their ancestors interbred with Neanderthals in one period between 43,000 and 50,000 years ago.
Neanderthal-human interbreeding lasted 7,000 years, new study reveals
A new analysis of DNA from ancient modern humans (Homo sapiens) in Europe and Asia has determined, more precisely than ever, the time period during which Neanderthals interbred with modern humans, starting about 50,
Genomes reveal timing of Homo sapiens interbreeding with Neanderthals
Neanderthals went extinct roughly 39,000 years ago, but in some sense these close cousins of our species are not gone. Their legacy lives on in the genomes of most people on Earth, thanks to interbreeding between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals.
Scientists pinpoint when humans had babies with Neanderthals
A pair of new studies sheds light on a pivotal but mysterious chapter of the human origin story, revealing that modern humans and Neanderthals had babies together for an extended period, peaking 47,000 years ago — leaving genetic fingerprints in modern-day people.
Ancient genes pinpoint when humans and Neanderthals mixed and mingled
Neanderthals and humans likely mixed and mingled during a narrow time frame 45,000 years ago, scientists reported Thursday. Researchers analyzed ancient genes to pinpoint the time period, which is slightly more recent than previous estimates for the mating.
DNA reveals when modern humans began 'mixing' with Neanderthals
Scientists have pinpointed a time frame in which Neanderthals began "mixing" with modern humans, based on DNA of early inhabitants of Europe.
Ancient genomes reveal when modern humans and Neanderthals interbred
The oldest genomes ever recovered from modern humans have helped pin down when and how the momentous mingling of two hominins played out
DNA Reveals When Humans And Neanderthals Became One
Today, all humans except those with only African heritage bear the marks of this union in their DNA. The study's findings suggest this genetic exchange took place roughly 80 generations before the births of the individuals they tested,
DNA reveals the face of the most recent human to interbreed with Neanderthals
Research shows a link between Zlatý kůň and Ranis, early European modern humans who retained African traits, lacked Neandertal ancestry.
DNA Analysis Reveals 7,000 Years of Human-Neanderthal Relations
Learn how scientists examined DNA to find out the duration of Neanderthal-human interbreeding and track down the Neanderthal genes that humans inherited.
