Genome sequencing can teach us about our cousins, the Neanderthals

Genome sequencing can teach us about our cousins, the Neanderthals

The Galveston County Daily News, June 29, 2022

Neanderthals lived on Earth from about half a million years ago until about 12,000 years ago. They co-existed and interbred with humans as they spread out of Africa across Europe and Asia. Researchers think Neanderthal brains matured faster, which helped survival, but human brains developed slower, which helped them develop societies. Drs. Norbert Herzog and David Niesel discuss the research on one gene that might explain why humans dominated their cousins.
