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 ...
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 ...
Neanderthal admixture: Genetic evidence for early Homo sapiens admixture to Neanderthals in West Asia, discovered in 2017. [3] Asia, Southeast Asia: India: 385–250: South India: Quartzite tools excavated at Attirampakkam were dated back to 250,000-385,000 years old. [4] Africa, Horn of Africa: Ethiopia: 200–190: Omo Kibish Formation
Interbreeding between the two populations left Eurasians with many genes inherited from their Neanderthal ancestors, which today make up between 1 and 2 per cent of our total genome, researchers said.
Scientists have known since the first Neanderthal genome was sequenced in 2010 that early humans interbred with Neanderthals, a bombshell revelation that bequeathed a genetic legacy still ...
Slimak determined that this particular Neanderthal lived 42,000 years ago, towards the end of that species’ time on this planet. As such, he named the Neanderthal Thorin after the Tolkien character.

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.
