These early Eurasian populations probably mated with Neanderthals in the period between 50,000 and 60,000 years ago, probably during the initial phase of their expansion in the Middle East, and they carried ~2–9% Neanderthal ancestry in their genomes. [5]

Average Neanderthal men stood around 165 cm (5 ft 5 in) and women 153 cm (5 ft 0 in) tall, similar to pre-industrial modern Europeans. [27] The braincases of Neanderthal men and women averaged about 1,600 cm 3 (98 cu in) and 1,300 cm 3 (79 cu in), respectively, [28] [29] [30] which is considerably larger than the modern human average.

Known as Shanidar Z, after the cave in Iraqi Kurdistan where she was found in 2018, the woman was a Neanderthal, a type of ancient human that disappeared around 40,000 years ago.
The new research estimates an average date for Neanderthal-Homo sapiens interbreeding of about 47,000 years ago, compared to previous estimates that ranged from 54,000 to 41,000 years ago.

Tens of thousands of years ago, a Neanderthal nicknamed Thorin lived in southeastern France, not long before his species went extinct. His remains were first discovered in 2015 and sparked a ...
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 ...
