He has also worked with Svante Pääbo for years and published a collaborative study in the journal Nature in 2020, providing evidence suggesting a role for genetics in the severity of COVID-19. He identified a 50-kilobase genomic region inherited from Neanderthals on chromosome 3 as the primary genetic risk factor for severe SARS-CoV-2 symptoms.
Genetic data has been used to test various hypotheses about Neanderthal evolution and identify the last common ancestor (LCA) of Neanderthals and modern humans. Numerous dates have been suggested, [18] [19] such as 538–315, [20] 553–321, [21] 565–503, [22] 654–475, [19] 690–550, [23] 765–550, [18] [8] 741–317, [24] and 800–520,000 years ago; [25] and a dental analysis concluded ...
The Neanderthal DNA found in modern human genomes has long raised questions about ancient interbreeding. New studies offer a timeline of when that occurred and when ancient humans left Africa.
Neanderthals live on within us. Using the new and rapidly improving ability to piece together fragments of ancient DNA, scientists are finding that traits inherited from our ancient cousins are ...
Early risers may have inherited genetic variants from Neanderthals that increase the odds that they are morning rather than evening people, new research has found. Early risers may have inherited ...

Since the Neanderthal genome was first sequenced 15 years ago, researchers have worked to link modern humans to these archaic ancestors in a variety of ways.
Neanderthals also consumed a variety of plants and mushrooms across their range. [97] [98] They possibly employed a wide range of cooking techniques, such as roasting, [99] smoking, [100] and curing. [101] Neanderthals competed with several large carnivores, but also seem to have hunted them down, namely cave lions, wolves, and cave bears. [102]
