The Neanderthals were the first human species to permanently occupy Europe. [42] While pre-Neanderthals are mostly identified around Western Europe, classic Neanderthals are recorded across Europe as well as Southwest [31] and Central Asia, up to the Altai Mountains in southern Siberia. Pre- and early Neanderthals seem to have continuously ...
The earliest known remains of Cro-Magnon-like humans are radiocarbon dated to 43,000–46,000 BP, found in Bulgaria, Italy, and Great Britain. [33] [34] Europe: Bulgaria: 46-44: Bacho Kiro cave: A tooth and six bone fragments are the earliest modern human remains yet found in Europe. [35] Europe: Italy: 45–44: Grotta del Cavallo, Apulia
The percentage of Neanderthal genes gradually decreased with time, which could indicate they were maladaptive and were selected out of the gene pool. [19] Location of the Zlatý kůň fossil with an age of at least ~40,000 years, that yielded genome-wide data. [71] Valini et al. 2022 found that Europe was populated by three distinct lineages.
Recent fossil evidence indicates modern humans (Homo sapiens) and Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) may have co-existed in Europe for as long as 5,000 to 6,000 years before Neanderthals became ...
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.
