Scientists Discovered Something Strange About Neanderthal DNA

Scientists have stumbled upon something seriously bizarre about Neanderthal DNA. It turns out our ancient cousins might have left an unexpected mark on our genetic blueprint. Picture scientists in their lab coats going, "Wait, what?" as they unravel the mysteries hidden in the Neanderthal genetic code. It's like a plot twist in the story of human evolution, and you'll definitely want to know the details of this strange and unexpected revelation. Join us as we unravel the scientific enigma and explore the peculiar quirks discovered in the Neanderthal DNA – it's a genetic saga that's both fascinating and a bit head-scratching!

I don't understand why people keep saying that the Neanderthal didn't make to our time. With all the people that have up to 4% Neanderthal DNA, doesn't that mean the Neanderthal made it to out time?

[idraote]

I think we already know what happened.
Neanderthal, Denisovans and Sapiens interbred. As sapiens were more numerous, their genes prevailed.

Anyone who uses the NYC subway knows Neanderthals are still around😅

[ArtByFameli]

They didn’t disappear, they assimilated with the invaders and are literally our ancestors. Just a different race of people.

I want to believe the Neanderthals were powerful, brilliant, clever and brainy because I happen to be short and muscular, pale complected and with a somewhat large nose.

I had a gene study done by National Geographic, and they said I had 1.5% Neanderthal DNA, and 1.4% Denisovan. And I’m mostly northern Germanic, too. So, funny about the Denisovan?!

Actually It is pronounced, Nee-and-dur-talls. Named for the Neander Valley, Germany, in which they were first discovered. In Germany, the "th" is pronounced as a "t" sound. Recent DNA tests on myself shows 3%, my husband has 4%. The average is 3% Neanderthal DNA markers in the Caucasian population.

Okay, this video barely mentions the super volcano in Italy when the evidence for being the major factor to wipe out the Neanderthal is pretty remarkable. It also makes weird tech comparisons to modern day devices that have nothing to do with each other.

Neanderthals are not extinct, they mated with sapiens and became the dominant hybrid species. Sapiens are a hybrid that includes Neander DNA.

Why do these videos keep saying neanderthals died out when they are still all around us.. wide nose, protruding brow, square chins, muscular strong stocky frames. Most European boxers look just like that.

44 million subs and yet they use Text to Speech rather than paying a human to do the voiceover...

[claytonbenignus]

The insult "Your Sister has Cave Bear Breath" causes Wars of Extinction. On the other hand, "Your Sister is Cute" will cause some Genetic Mixing. I suggest a lot of both happened.

4%. That’s better than most sixth or seventh cousins. There is a lot of Neanderthal influence in modern humans and it’s usually beneficial.

[brianSalem]

They aren't cousins, they're direct ancestors of most modern people.

[evamtaylor]

If we are gonna do a piece on pre-history, kindly, dont show maps that show us modern sea levels and topography. It would give us the viewer a better image of how such migrations might be possible.

[guyvert]

just a pointer: Neanderthal is pronounced "Neandertal", where Tal is the German word for valley [Neander is a river, so Neander Valley find]. Although spelt with an "h", that "h" was silent due to a German spelling shift in the 19th century.

The narrator is alright, but the video seems like it is made for children.

[miaross]

“Humanoid” isn’t the expression that’s scientists use. Hominid is the one that should’ve been used.

[USARealityCheck]

My theory: The Neanderthals were eliminated by modern humans who were coexisting with them. Same goes for the Denisovans.

Actually, the theory of large noses for heating and moistening cold air no longer holds up. Neanderthal noses were probably worse at the task than our own. It is more likely their big noses were an adaptation increasing their breathing effectiveness associated with ambush and sprint hunting strategy in a woodland environment. Of course, this also can't be given for granted.
