Looking at heterozygous individuals (carrying both Neanderthal and modern human versions of a gene), the allele-specific expression of introgressed Neanderthal alleles was found to be significantly lower in the brain and testes relative to other tissues. [5] [49] In the brain, this was most pronounced at the cerebellum and basal ganglia. [49]
Homo (from Latin homō 'human') is a genus of great ape (family Hominidae) that emerged from the genus Australopithecus and encompasses only a single extant species, Homo sapiens (modern humans), along with a number of extinct species (collectively called archaic humans) classified as either ancestral or closely related to modern humans; these include Homo erectus and Homo neanderthalensis.

Neanderthal remains have been found nearby at Kebara Cave that date to 61,000–48,000 years ago, [6] but it has been hypothesised that the Skhul/Qafzeh hominids had died out by 80,000 years ago because of drying and cooling conditions, favouring a return of a Neanderthal population [7] suggesting that the two types of hominids never made ...
With its 80,000-year orbit, the celestial body would have been last seen from Earth at the time of the Neanderthals. The Virtual Telescope Project in Italy captured images of the comet from May ...
