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]
[54] [55] J2 clades attain peak frequencies in the North-West and South India [54] and is found at 19% within South Indian castes, 11% in North Indian castes and 12% in Pakistan. [38] In South India, the presence of J2 is higher among middle castes at 21%, followed by upper castes at 18.6% and lower castes at 14%. [38]
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.
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 ...
The approximately 40,000-year-old modern human Oase 2 was found, in 2015, to have had 6–9% (point estimate 7.3%) Neanderthal DNA, indicating a Neanderthal ancestor up to four to six generations earlier, but this hybrid population does not appear to have made a substantial contribution to the genomes of later Europeans.

Human DNA recovered from remains found in Europe is revealing our species’ shared history with Neanderthals. The trove is the oldest Homo sapiens DNA ever documented, scientists say.
The population who created these tools is not known with certainty as no human remains were found. [3] An indication for post-Toba is haplogroup L3, that originated before the dispersal of humans out of Africa, and can be dated to 60,000–70,000 years ago, "suggesting that humanity left Africa a few thousand years after Toba."

Scientists found new clues about one of the last living Neanderthals. ... looked at a handful of Neanderthals' DNA from around the world and compared them to Thorin's DNA, starting with the ...
