The Neanderthals In Us: How Neanderthal Genes Influence Us Today

[@meelusine]

Wow !! I could listen to this for hours. Impressive how clear and logical the answers given by Dr. Svante Pääbo are. Especially impressed that such an eminent researcher and highly recognized scientist can be understood by common people like me who doesn't no knowing about all this. Thank you Dr Svante for your research, your precious time and the quality of your communications.

[@wangchakip8551]

congratulation Dr. Svante Pääbo !!!

I am from Jerusalem, Israel. I was spellbound by you webinar, the clarity of the explanations, and the passion and fun that is clearly pushing you on. Also the questions relating to susceptibility to covid 19,and other ailments, and it's relation to old dna"that was worth while to keep ", and the liabilities it brought with it. Would love to hear more! Many thanks

Vaccum cleaning KZbin for these lectures and talks. Filling a playlist with them. Enjoying them so much. We need to encourage the youth to educate and go explore all these scientific fields, be it Geology, Anthropology, Archeology, Biology, Chemistry, Physics....... These fields of research will be the big thing in the 21. Century in trying to answer the many questions about the evolution of humans/animals/plants we have today. Scientists also need to have better funding. It's that important.

[@gladys4246]

Native Americans and Aboriginal people in Australia share genes that no one else has. How does that factor in here? Do Native Americans also have the desonivan DNA? I'm assuming some could have both ancient DNA? Also, how did the ancient viruses DNA become 8% of our own DNA? How does that work? I really like the presentation. Well explained in layman terms.

[@elliottprats1910]

Please provide link that Native Americans & Australian Aborigines share genes that no one else has. If true, this would completely change the current consensus of human population spread.

[@planmet]

It could be due to the different cranial morphology of the neanderthaal - it being more oval - that leads to birthing difficulties and so a premature birth when the skull is smaller would have been an evolutionary adaption to resolve this problem - but of course this would lead to another dilemma - having to cope with a premature baby. It could be that H. sapiens resolved these problems - by a mutation which altered the morphology of the skull - making it more 'vertical' in shape (by vaulting up of the braincase). This would be a successful gene variation as more babies would survive.

[@andrewsandeen8109]

Neanderthals are often considered a different species than modern humans. I find this interesting. Interbreeding is key to the biological species concept, which defines a species as members of populations that can interbreed with each other to produce viable offspring. (To be considered “viable,” the offspring must themselves be able to reproduce.) The evidence is in Neanderthals breed with modern humans and the offspring were viable which we know becomes most humans have 2-4% Neanderthal DNA. Just as breeds of dogs, despite size and looks are the same species, biologically speaking by definition, Neanderthals are the same species as modern humans because we mated and produced viable offspring.

[@Lioness1499]

Isn't that percentage related to Cacusiod people only. Negriod people do not have Neanderthal DNA.

[@elliottprats1910]

Kittens Henderson. Until recently it was believed Sub-Saharan didn’t have any Neanderthal DNA. Now we know that a previous attempt out of Africa (before the one 70K ago - believed to be ~100K) meet neanderthals and then returned to Africa. This EARLY Neanderthal mixture is very obscure and wasn’t detected until recently and is only about 0.3 - 0.5%. That being when the non sub-Saharans left Africa -70k ago they met Neanderthals again and have 1-4% of the genes from them

[@joltjolt5060]

By your logic grizzlies and polar bears are the same species, but they supposedly aren't.

[@wickjezek5093]

Oof. The scientific name for Neanderthal is Homo Neandertalis. Modern humans are Homo sapiens. There were many other Homo species that went extinct. This has been settled for quite a while. Homo species are more akin to wolves, coyotes, and dogs than dog breeds. Modern dogs are all canis lupus familiaris. Foxes are in the same family but not the same species and can rarely, if ever, breed with the above.

[@wickjezek5093]

​@@joltjolt5060 It's a common misconception that different species can't interbreed. You just pointed out that polar and grizzlies interbreed. Polar, grizzly, and black bears are all new world bears. Species is a human construct based on nature, and get redefined often. As the evidence stands currently if species are in the same family, evolved in the same geography (where they'd have contact) , and have the same number of chromosomes there's a high likelihood they can have fertile offspring. This explains why polar and grizzly bears or coyotes and wolves have hybridized so well. Meanwhile, all cats have 38 chromosomes but captive big cat hybrids are usually unhealthy and sterile. Tigers, lions, and panthers evolved on different continents and never hybridize in the wild.

I wonder if native Americans carry the risk on chromosome three I noticed that David Reich said that the yamnia split and went to Europe India and North America Perhaps you have the genome of that kid from over by lake baikal and could see if this gene occurred there Also David Reich could check to see if that gene made it here My granddaughter and her mother have Covid and our Indian health service clinic just told them to stay home and take tylonal I gave them my oxymeter And some of the nutrients of dr Paul Mario’s math plus protocol Do you have any idea if we could get the test for this gene I know because my family has myotonic dystrophy that our ihs clinic will send a blood sample for testing if an American physician recommends it and it is free or covered by Medicaid Thanks for a wonderful program and thank dr paabo for a great book and wish him another eight years riding the crest of the breaking wave of scientific discovery in the field he created

[@meelusine]

Excuse-me to interact with your comments and questioning. But I wanted to say that I do feel there is so much to be discovered from native american for the history of human kind and its various migrations. I have noticed for example that some of them do have European features.

[@elliottprats1910]

David Reich has NEVER claimed that the Yamnaya went to North American. The Yamnaya only date from 3300 - 2600 BC while North America was settled atleast 15,000 years BEFORE the Yamnaya.

Everyone just wants to know how the neanertal and denisovan genes exist today effect us today also 2nd would be more about them which is the same thing really - them in relation to us now. a psychiatrist was telling us about this genome that they have got into now. so he found it interesting. it is interesting. they foun d things out with this stuff. and found out about groups that were there that are blended in now with others. We have the rare georgraphic tongue. And we have relation to mongolia some 1/4 so that's more influenced by neanderthal. red hair the one grandmother had red hair when she was young we were told. so that's neandertal trait but then they said that the red hair now isn't neandertal. This one man's wife wanted to marry him because he was big and looked different. So one of their kids had red hair and her 2 girls had double crowns- cromagnon. He's big, too which they say happens when they interbreed too much. Their kids all looked different some more indian than others. The red hair and light skin's different. The boy had dark hair. The man was white and a big forehead or whatever and that's what happens or something with too much inbreeding. Then some of the men couldn't have kids in neandertals.

[@JohnLloydScharf]

PROVE similarities in genes excludes the possibility of genetic convergence rather than inbreeding.

About that gene from the Neanderthals in the 3rd chromosome and the sensitivity to covid. If you take the point of view of China, it is very convenient that the people of european descent and the Indians are more sensitive to the covid because many of them carry the gene and that the Chineses (and the Japaneses and the Coreans) are much less sensitive to Covid because they don't carry that gene.
