Scientists Discovered Something Strange About Neanderthal DNA

@@Merrsharr: Super volcano, not volcano. The world was measurably cooler following the eruption of Mt Pinatubo back in about 1990. As I understand it, there were a couple of years of crop failures following Krakatoa's eruption. So a super volcano eruption could easily reduce food sources enough that a lot of Neanderthals died out and the remaining population was too small to survive. The African environment may have had just a little extra wiggle-room that would have allowed anatomically modern humans to survive there in the numbers needed to keep the species going. Now, I've speculated quite a bit there but that is at least one possible mechanism and a reason why a super volcano eruption should not be ruled out without more evidence.

[@rainer1980]

It not just a large nose that we may have inherited from Neanderthals; geneticists also believe that if you have a weak chin profile that it may be another trait inherited from them. Of course, humans also chewed rougher, courser food 200 years ago, and consequently the jaw has been shrinking since then from eating softer foods. So, you can't rule that out either.

[@loganskiwyse7823]

Sorry gene migration is not species migration. It can be transposed within the new species over time back to another location, diminishing in quantity as you get further from point of contact. That is actually the current explanation for how we find Neanderthal DNA in Africa. And it is supported by the fact that north of the Sahara the ratio is far higher while south it is always under 1% and as low as 0.02%.

The Africans with Neanderthal DNA are most likely those mixed with European and Asian DNA. This was shown in a study I read about. So that DNA is mostly common around North Africa.

It’s not 3% at most. My mom took a 23 and me DNA test and it showed 5% Neanderthal and it said the percentage is higher than 98% of all humans today, which explains some things about her, like terrible at simple technology. Takes her 3 hours or longer to send a email and than gives up. She avoids vegetables and fruits a lot and eats mostly meat.

[@Shadrach666]

Knew not vegetables, couldn’t catch snails, and were afraid of the light. Yeah, the light played tricks on the gleaming snow. Befuddled them.

Bilge. Neanderthals had brains that were somewhat larger than ours. They had advanced technology for their time, i.e. exquisite leaf-shape spear points were made by them rather than their H. sapiens cousins. They created cave art, crafted beads for jewelry, harvested shellfish as well as hunting big game with freakin' spears. They cared for the young, the old and the infirm. It's more likely that H. neaderthalensis was rather incompatible genetically with H. sapiens.

[@PeteOtton]

Not entirely incompatible if we share some intermingled DNA. I take umbrage with the title.

[@resourcedragon]

There is now the intriguing question of whether or not Neanderthals first invented spinning. There is some plied cord, dated to between 41,000 and 52,000 years ago which was found at the prehistoric cave site of Abri du Maras in the south of France. What makes this even more interesting is that they used fibres taken from the inner bark of a tree. The cord was probably intended to tie the stone part of a tool onto the handle.

[@bruceonkauai]

I have a theory: As the brain area used for communication was more developed in the Pre-Homosapien they would have developed more social skills than the Neanderthal. One could then hypothesize the Homosapien hunted in larger troops making the Neanderthal easy prey and they were hunted down. The Homosapien's killed and ate what they couldn't heard after a raid. One could also hypothesize the males never made it to maturity nor would the female Homosapien be breading with the Neanderthal. The neanderthal DNA was eaten and bread into extinction, all that's left is a small percentage in our DNA. The beginning of cannibalism, slavery and husbandry all rolled into one.
