Neanderthal admixture was found to be present in modern populations in 2010 with the mapping of the first Neanderthal genome sequence. [87] This was based on three specimens in Vindija Cave, Croatia, which contained almost 4% archaic DNA (allowing for near complete sequencing of the genome).

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.
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.
Most humans alive today can trace a very small percentage of their DNA to Neanderthals. However, Neanderthal DNA is slightly more abundant in the genomes of certain populations.
Homo antecessor may be a common ancestor of humans and Neanderthals. [40] [41] At present estimate, humans have approximately 20,000–25,000 genes and share 99% of their DNA with the now extinct Neanderthal [42] and 95–99% of their DNA with their closest living evolutionary relative, the chimpanzees.
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 ...
