Neanderthal genes found in some modern humans


www.cosmosmagazine.com/news
SYDNEY: As humans migrated out of Africa 100,000 to 50,000 years ago, some individuals interbred with Neanderthal and as a result some genetic sequences can be found in all non-African humans, according to an international team of scientists.

"It's cool to think that some of us have a little Neanderthal DNA in us," said Svante Pääbo from the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, lead author of the study published in Science.

In the past few years, there have been numerous anthropological discoveries that have altered the concept of human lineage.

Of course, debate will rage over the fossils and classification in relation to our human line, but how can one argue with DNA and the Neanderthal connection? Wow!

There's been a lot of news today on this subject. But again, I'll mention, my thread from May 4 of last year, which discusses, among other topics, the targeting of the androgen sensitive (possibly Neanderthal) phenotype, which confers increased risk of migraine headache and epilepsy, for pharmaceutical epigenetic damage as well as the phenotype's naturally increased mercury sensitivity and some of the implications of that in the actual causes of autism, Asperger's, and ADHD. I also mention one pharmaceutical cause of AIDS, long term high dose valproic acid, presented sometimes as a panacea to those of the Neanderthal phenotype, a fate I do not recommend.
