It has been found that 50% of the Neanderthal genome is present among people in India, [18] and 41% has been found in Icelanders. [19] Previously it was found that about 20% of the Neanderthal genome was found in modern Eurasians, [20] but the figure was also estimated at a third. [21]
H was also found in some ancient samples of Europe and is still found today at a low frequency in certain southeastern Europeans and Arabs of the Levant. Haplogroup H is frequently found among populations of India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan and the Maldives. All three branches of Haplogroup H (Y-DNA) are found in South Asia.
Since 2005, evidence for substantial admixture of Neanderthal DNA in modern populations is accumulating. [2] [3] [4] The divergence time between the Neanderthal and modern human lineages is estimated at between 750,000 and 400,000 years ago. The recent time is suggested by Endicott et al. (2010) [5] and Rieux et al. (2014). [6]
The population dynamics identified in this research could be a major reason why Neanderthals disappeared 40,000 years ago, Akey noted. The researchers’ analysis suggests that the Neanderthal ...

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 ...
The oldest remnants of the so-called Fosna culture were found in Aukra in Møre og Romsdal. [73] Americas, South America: Argentina: 11,000 BP: Piedra Museo: Spear heads and human fossils [74] Europe, Baltic: Estonia: 11,000 BP: Pulli: The Pulli settlement on the bank of the Pärnu River briefly pre-dates that at Kunda, which gave its name to ...
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.
