a recent study by the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany, published in the journal Nature and quoted by RT, has now revealed evidence that specimens of Homo sapiens Neanderthals yielded to a chromosome of modern humans at least 100,000 years ago.
the first mating between Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans it took place 35,000 years earlier than previously thought
This finding indicates that the first crossing of Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans took place 35,000 years before what was previously thought, according to anthropologist Sergi Castilian.
scientists have analyzed the chromosome 21 Neanderthal remains found in Altai (Russia), in the cave of El Sidrón (Asturias, Spain) and the Vindija (Croatia). Anthropologists also studied the genome of Denisova hominid discovered in Siberia.
“The sequencing of chromosome 21 remains from the Asturian cave The Sidrón and other Vindija Neanderthals show that Europeans do not have genes of Homo sapiens, at least on that chromosome. that is, can these Neanderthals groups do not coincide with the sapiens or, if they did, did not have descendants, “said the researcher of the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) of Spain Carles Lalueza, quoted by Europa Press.
the study found no evidence of crossing either Denisovans species were found, but the remains of Neanderthal Altai contained DNA sequences of anatomically modern humans.
“more than 100,000 years ago came the first exit anatomically modern humans out of Africa. These humans interbred with a population of Neanderthals, who then could move to the south of modern Siberia, carrying the sapiens genes, “says Antonio Rosas, of the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Spain.
According to the researchers, following the results of this latest study can say that Neanderthals could have inherited from Homo sapiens function of articulate speech as between different chromosomes analyzed the DNA of Neanderthals genome fragment FOXP2, which is in the seventh chromosome and is related to the language was detected.
