- Homo neanderthalensis - The Smithsonian's Human Origins ProgramNeanderthals (the ‘th’ pronounced as ‘t’) are our closest extinct human relative. Some defining features of their skulls include the large middle part of the face, angled cheek bones, and a huge nose for humidifying and warming cold, dry air. Their bodies were shorter and stockier than ours, another adaptation to living in cold environments.
- Neanderthal ancestry through time: Insights from genomes of ... - ScienceNeanderthal ancestry has played a major role in human adaptation and disease (37, 38), but few studies have tracked how the frequency of Neanderthal variants has changed through time (39–41). Using Neanderthal segments in ancient and present-day individuals, we recovered Neanderthal ancestry in 61.7% (1551 Mb) of the autosomal callable genome ...
- 10 fascinating discoveries about Neanderthals in 2024, from 'Thorin ...Conversely, research published in July in the journal Science estimated that the Neanderthal genome may have been between 2.5% and 3.7% human, indicating that both human and Neanderthal ...
