DNA Analysis Shows The Real Reason Why Neanderthal Went Extinct!

Neanderthal:The Real Extinction Story
For millennia, they reigned over Europe and Asia – the Neanderthals. Our closest human relatives, they were strong, intelligent, and resourceful, surviving Ice Ages and hunting massive beasts. Yet, around 40,000 years ago, they vanished, leaving behind a profound mystery: What caused the extinction of the Neanderthals?

For decades, scientists have explored theories ranging from climate change to competition with Homo sapiens. But now, a groundbreaking new study published in Scientific Reports unveils a surprising and intimate factor that may have played a critical role in their demise: blood incompatibility.

This video delves into this fascinating discovery, exploring how a unique and rare Rh factor in Neanderthal blood could have led to potentially fatal complications during pregnancies with Homo sapiens or Denisovan partners.
