Geneticists think that Neanderthals and Sapiens began to breed 47,000 years ago
Most humans alive today carry traces of genes inherited from Neanderthals, indicating a complex history of interbreeding between modern humans and their now-extinct cousins. But exactly when we first met our ‘cousins’ proved elusive. Recent genome analysis now suggests that this genetic mixing occurred about 47,000 years ago. If this research passes peer review, it … Read more
