New DNA study of Neanderthals bolsters suspicions of human-driven extinction
AI Summary
Recent DNA analysis of 27 Neanderthal genomes shows they had more diverse and interconnected populations than previously thought, contradicting the notion that their genetic decline led to extinction. These findings suggest that human activity may have played a larger role in their disappearance than previously believed. This study could reshape our understanding of human evolution and the interactions between early humans and Neanderthals, highlighting the complexity of ancient human migrations and conflicts.
