A 2019 reanalysis of 210,000-year-old skull fragments from the Greek Apidima Cave assumed to have belonged to a Neanderthal concluded that they belonged to a modern human, and a Neanderthal skull dating to 170,000 years ago from the cave indicates H. sapiens were replaced by Neanderthals until returning about 40,000 years ago.

The catastrophic impact of Eurasian viruses on Native American populations in the historical past offers a sense of how modern humans may have affected hominin predecessor groups in Eurasia 40,000 years ago. Human and Neanderthal genomes and disease or parasite adaptations may give insight on this. [14] [15]
Svante Pääbo, Nobel Prize laureate and one of the researchers who published the first sequence of the Neanderthal genome.. On 7 May 2010, following the genome sequencing of three Vindija Neanderthals, a draft sequence of the Neanderthal genome was published and revealed that Neanderthals shared more alleles with Eurasian populations (e.g. French, Han Chinese, and Papua New Guinean) than with ...
The question was resolved only in 2010, when it was established that Eurasian populations exhibit Neanderthal admixture, estimated at 1.5–2.1% on average. [15] The question now became whether this admixture had taken place in Europe, or rather in the Levant, prior to AMH migration into Europe.
Erik Trinkaus (born December 24, 1948) is an American paleoanthropologist specializing in Neandertal and early modern human biology and human evolution.Trinkaus researches the evolution of the species Homo sapiens and recent human diversity, focusing on the paleoanthropology and emergence of late archaic and early modern humans, and the subsequent evolution of anatomically modern humanity.
The first high-coverage genome of Neanderthals was taken from this toe bone. [21] This Neanderthal is referred to as the Altai Neanderthal. The Altai Neanderthal is estimated to be around 120,000 years old. Other Neanderthals for which nuclear DNA has been recovered are all genetically closer to each other than to the Altai Neanderthal.

It has been argued that Neanderthals', and previous hominids', expansion northward were limited by lacking proper thermoregulation. [3] Behavioural adaptations such as clothes-making to overcome the cold is evident in archaeological finds. [3] The potential to expand also grew with the Neanderthal reaching the status of top carnivores. [3]
