The species we belong to all human beings today, is the Homo sapiens and although at first it was thought that meetings between them and the Neanderthal were few and irrelevant now emerged new information that says that there were several meetings where also there was gene flow between the two species.
But what does that mean? Means that current men, homo sapiens, Neanderthals have something in our genetic code, this according to research co-led by scientist Sergi Castilian Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology Max Planck in Leipzig, Germany and published in the journal Nature who discovered at least two crossings between anatomically modern humans and Neanderthals, the first took place in Europe, some 50 000 /: years and which class = “aligncenter wp-image-583676″ src = “http://i1.wp.com/www.sopitas.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/homo.jpg?resize=644%2C409″alt =” homo “srcset =” http://i1.wp.com /www.sopitas.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/homo.jpg?resize=768%2C488 768w, http://i1.wp.com/www.sopitas.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2016/02 / homo.jpg? resize = 870% 2C553 870w, http://i1.wp.com/www.sopitas.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/homo.jpg?resize=470%2C299 470w, 220w http://i1.wp.com/www.sopitas.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/homo.jpg?resize=220%2C140, http://i1.wp.com/www .sopitas.com / wp-content / uploads / 2016/02 / homo.jpg? resize = 60% 2C38 60w, http://i1.wp.com/www.sopitas.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/ 02 / homo.jpg? resize = 366% 2C232 366w, http://i1.wp.com/www.sopitas.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/homo.jpg?resize=183%2C116 183W, http://i1.wp.com/www.sopitas.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/homo.jpg?resize=234%2C149 234W, http://i1.wp.com/www.sopitas .com / wp-content / uploads / 2016/02 / homo.jpg? resize = 167% 2C106 167w, http://i1.wp.com/www.sopitas.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/ homo.jpg resize = 157% 2C100 157w, 202W http://i1.wp.com/www.sopitas.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/homo.jpg?resize=202%2C128, http?: //i1.wp.com/www.sopitas.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/homo.jpg?w=1697 1697w “sizes =” (max-width: 644px) 100vw, 644px “data-recalc -dims = “1″ />
And that’s not all, it turns out that in 2010 Svante Paavo to investigate the Neanderthal genome, we discovered that they transmitted their genes, so that all people of Eurasian origin carry this small inheritance in their barcode, about 2% of our genome is Neanderthal, but it also happened the other way around: first hybridization were homo sapiens who provided him their genetic material Neanderthals. As you can see, everything was a bacchanal.
According to Carles Lalueza-Fox , leader of the Paleogenomics Laboratory of the Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE), ensures that this “discovery represents another step in the demolition of the old paradigm of human evolution. Now we know that there have been multiple crosses between modern humans and archaic hominids that have helped to accelerate the adaptation of these populations. “
Although researchers do not yet know how were these encounters between the two species, ie if was between men sapiens and Neanderthals females who maintained relationships, or vice versa, however hybrid children were born of this mixture is quantitatively limited as the transfer of genetic sequences for the human being is small, only 2%. So now you know, the next time you tell someone who is a Neanderthal, remember that we all have a little of that in our genes.
