DNA, Neanderthal

Oldest human DNA helps pinpoint when early humans interbred with Neanderthals
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.

Research shows a link between Zlatý kůň and Ranis, early European modern humans who retained African traits, lacked Neandertal ancestry.
DNA reveals new estimate for when modern humans began 'mixing' with Neanderthals
Scientists have pinpointed a time frame in which Neanderthals began "mixing" with modern humans, based on DNA of early inhabitants of Europe.
Studies pin down exactly when humans and Neanderthals swapped DNA
Two recent studies suggest that the gene flow (as the young people call it these days) between Neanderthals and our species happened during a short period sometime between 50,000 and 43,500 years ago. The studies, which share several co-authors, suggest that our torrid history with Neanderthals may have been shorter than we thought.
Genomes reveal timing of Homo sapiens interbreeding with Neanderthals
Neanderthals went extinct roughly 39,000 years ago, but in some sense these close cousins of our species are not gone. Their legacy lives on in the genomes of most people on Earth, thanks to interbreeding between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals.
