SANTA CRUZ, CA--After extracting ancient DNA from the 40000-year-old bones of Neanderthals, scientists have obtained a draft sequence of the Neanderthal genome, yielding important new insights into the evolution of modern humans.


SANTA CRUZ, CA--After extracting ancient DNA from the 40000-year-old bones of Neanderthals, scientists have obtained a draft sequence of the Neanderthal genome, yielding important new insights into the evolution of modern humans.


Researchers have produced the first whole genome sequence of the 3 billion letters in the Neanderthal genome, and the initial analysis suggests that up to 2 percent of the DNA in the genome of present-day humans outside of Africa ...


Just for the record, there&s no evidence that Homo sapiens (pre-interbreeding) was superior genetically or even intellectually to Neanderthal. Neanderthal had bigger brains and penises on average, for instance. ...
