💨 Abstract

This article discusses the influence of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans, particularly those of European descent. Around 250,000 years ago, early humans in Africa started migrating to Eurasia where they encountered and interbred with Neanderthals, our extinct cousins. Approximately 2% of the DNA of people outside Africa comes from Neanderthals.
