A Neanderthal Perspective on Human Origins - 2014

The Neanderthals are the closest extinct relatives of all present-day human and the Neanderthal genome sequence provides unique insights into modern humans origins. Svante Pääbo, a biologist and evolutionary anthropologist, describe the current understanding of the genetic contributions of Neanderthals to present-day humans and to extinct human groups. He also describes preliminary analyses of genomic features that appeared in present-day humans since their divergence from a common ancestor shared with Neanderthals and discusses how they may be functionally analyzed in the future. Pääbo is the Director of Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. Recorded on 09/10/2014. [11/2014] [Show ID: 28720]

Early on I had compassion for theory expressing a bush progeneragion of human evolution, rather than a direct line from chimp to modern humans. Now, instead of just having a feeling that the "bush" makes more sense, than a "direct line" is made a reality by the additional information from DNA sequencing. Of course, more findings spur more questions. Thanks for all those who work for further understanding.

Probably one of the most interesting presentations on evolution from a genetic viewpoint. I look forward to hearing more. Denisovans and the late survival of Erectus seems to support paleo discoveries with hybrid traits. The contribution to medical science with the identification of genes responsible for disease or genetic mutations is just icing on the cake. Well done.

[@goognamgoognw6637]

Yes, and don't forget organs transplant rejection caused by protein tied to some genes acquired or not squired from Neanderthal or other early hominids. Note how this is verified with Africans who do not have Neantherdal, Denisovan or out of africa Erectus gene. Add to that the admission that species is a human construct and no valid definition of it exist. Then it's clear Africans are the most remote of human groups. If you listen carefully to the parts on neurons and proteins inherited from Neantherdal, there is a biological cause behind certain form of human intelligence tied to cognitive skills not found among other apes and found at lower levels in africans who do not have neanderthal genes. Reality disagrees with the politically correct. Racism is not a pejorative distinction or prejudice, it is the admission of these differences backed by reality. Racism does not preclude prejudice. Recognizing differences in abilities is not a prejudice. Putting people in a situation where that difference affects their lives is a prejudice. You cannot expect both groups to perform the same which is why every group deserves to live in its own adapted environment and not in a mixed society.

Then a ruling pseudo elite minority takes advantage of the situation for themselves by trying to blame one group for the ineptitude of the other which is pure evolutionary conflict. Put hyenas with lions and expect them to live in one society, they will always be apart. No, vibrant culture countries with a strong identity and trust among people are homogeneous.

There is no single culture; there are many cultures. Just as most major religions teach some aspects of forgiveness and compassion, so most cultures share some positive traits. We love our children and want the best for them. We value family ties. We all develop rites and celebrations marking the seasons of life. Over the long haul of history, cultures and ethnicities have met, clashed, and eventually come to some accommodation with each other. At right around 250 years old, I like to think the USA is still learning and growing. We're in a rough patch right now, but I like to think, as Abraham Lincoln once said, the angels of our better nature will prevail. That is what I continue to work toward.

I wonder if Neanderthal genetic’s predisposition to type 2 diabetes made no difference until farming created high carbohydrate diets. If Neanderthals were essentially on the Aitkins’s diet (meat and fat), then they would not tend towards high sugar obesity and therefor genetically not at risk .... until 10,000 years ago when farming changed diets. A clue would be analyzing 10,000 year old human bones to see if the Neanderthal genetic contribution shifted away from the diabetes markers since then but not before. I also wonder why the bulging torso? Either ability to gorge themselves when they had killed a horse to tide them over for a couple weeks with no food. Or is it for warmth (increased volume to surface area ratio for holding heat longer). The pigmentation is logically beneficial for vitamin D (critical for immune system). The hyperactive immune system may have compensated for lowered immune response due to breathing cold aiir. But now it increases likelihood of cytokine storm reaction to covid.

It does not matter if thin or fat, child or old, male or female, this is universally noticeable in all Africans and it confirms the research. It's an untold reality.

When added together the genome of neanderthal present in out of africa population today (not africans) is at least 20% of the neanderthal genome, he said possibly 40% (altough all of it never present at the same time in a single individual). That clearly establishes a huge difference between europeans + asians and africans. Add to this that species is an artificial construct and we should be talking about different modern hominids when comparing africans to non africans. As this research advances i am sure one day we will, when people are ready to admit that racism is not inherently pejorative, only what you make of it matters. If racism was pejorative we would 'a forciori' eradicate all other species on earth but we don't, we recognize the need for different natural habitats for different species, so they may all thrive. This is the positive way to embrace racism. The negative way is what we are doing forcing them to live together in a melting pot in the habitat molded by the dominant hominid that will always favor one at the expense of the other. Furthermore it is better to keep pockets of highly differentiated hominids than to try to homogenize it all in a globalized habitat.

Question: So is the Kalahari Bushman Pygmy Tribe considered a different species from the Watusi?

[@danielfinch362]

Species or race is a matter of semantics completely subjective. Theres lots of species of animals that can successfully breed with no negative effects some actual positive effects.

[@jsbrules]

@@danielfinch362 Although the scientific definition of species is complex, and for many animals it is also often difficult and complex for scientists to decide where to draw the line (between species; between different subspecies of a species; and between a species and a subspecies)... it is NOT just "semantics completely subjective" that human beings are all one species. There are ZERO reputable expert scientists who would say that any "tribe" of human beings is a different species from another "tribe"! That we are all one species is neither subjective nor a mere matter of semantics. (Except: a subjective person could deny that accepted scientific truth, and "semantic" means "about the meaning of words". And yes, Pääbo dodges the question about Neanderthals and modern humans. But he would not do so about two groups of modern humans!

[@jsbrules]

no, no group or "tribe" of modern human beings is of a different species from any other living human group or "tribe"! We are all one species. (and Pääbo would agree despite his little dodge about Neanderthals and modern human)

Thanks for the excellent presentation given in a superb style. On the question as to why neanderthal did not have much progress in 300K years while humans had a lot in just 100K I think you gave the answer yourself - during those 300K years, at any given time there were just a few neanderthals living in small groups separated by great distances. Modern man started to make fast progress after some critical population mass had been reached. Maybe neanderthals had low fertility rates? This would explain why testical dns had been selected out of our genome.

Cro-Magnon is an early European modern human living 48 T to 15T years ago.

[@thelong-hairedleapinggnome7939]

It is appearing more likely as time goes by that the Neanderthals were likely absorbed by the people science used to refer to as the Cro Magnons. The Cro Magnons seem to have originated somewhere in the Caucasus, where the bulk of interbreeding between Neanderthals and Cro Magnons occurred. They were both likely mammoth steppe hunters in that region. The actual Cro Magnons, per se, originated in the Caucasus and probably travelled into the European interior to escape the terrible end of the Last Ice Age.

Is Denesovans and Homo Eructus are the same?

[@bvalt1]

I was always taught that the best definition of speciation is when the 2 variants can no longer mate and produce viable offspring. So in order to be different "species" then Homo Sapiens and Neanderthal would not be able to interbreed, which we now know was not the case, as is with the Denisovans also. The divergence is thought to have had to occur more than 1 million years for that to happen with primates, this is what I learned in my evolutionary bioloogy courses in college. So according to that set of criteria, Neanderthals and Denisovans, and even other hominid variants may have all been the same species, just different variants, which eventually interbred to produce what we today know as modern humans, but since none diverged more than 1 mil years before, and they could interbreed, by those standards they would be considered the same species. I don't know if they have moved those goalposts since I earned my degree in 1997. But that's what they taught us back then..

[@patm4899]

Brian V lions and tigers can reproduce.

[@davidshaddix5792]

Hence the scientific communities hypocrisy on defining "speciation".

[@hairymcnipples]

"species" is purely a constructed concept. We can happily make claims about whether or not different dinosaurs, for example, are the same or different species, without knowing whether they can reproduce, using the morphological species concept. Plenty of plant species can successfully hybridize. At the end of the day, the species of an organism is nothing more than an admittedly extremely useful way of sorting life into categories which are entirely decided by people.

[@rafaelernestorosabal8734]

I agree on best definition of species as you mention it but remember the case of circumpolar seagulls able to interbreed with neighboring populations and unable to do so where the ends "meet" and the impact of gene drift is greatest, at the strait of Bering (or was it the North Atlantic?) So even this classical definition of species sometimes failed! But that's Ok! Life and evolution are richer than our understanding of them! 🇨🇷

About some ancestors having a huge (50%) amount of neanderthal genome, and their descendants having 1.5% nowadays, which may still seem to be quite much, considering thousands of years passed: genome is not an indifferent soup of genes - different genes, as I think, correlate, group and gather into different structures in different places in genome(s). This happens each time a new offspring is created. The point is, that the 1.5% was really usefull, or was located/related to regions vital for surviwal of "the mixbreed", so the genes were not removed nor dissolved into this hard to recognize and indifferent soup... the so-called trash DNA, which parts of our genome seems to consist of.
