A new analysis of ancient DNA has found that Neanderthal genomes contain 62 percent more ancestry from anatomically modern humans on their X chromosomes than on the rest of their chromosomes. The ...

While it's common knowledge that Neanderthals and modern humans interbred long ago, a new genetic study is suggesting that among the Neanderthals, their modern human blood came mostly from the moms in ...
Scientists have known for a while that Neanderthals occasionally mated with humans eons ago. But a study in Science adds a new layer of knowledge to the subject: It turns out that much of this mating ...
NEW YORK — Humans and Neanderthals cozied up from time to time when they lived in the same areas tens of thousands of years ago. But we don't know much about who got with whom, or why. A new genetic ...
Most people have some amount of Neanderthal DNA from the extinct cousins of modern humans who lived in Europe and Asia until about 40,000 years ago. New research on available Neanderthal genetic ...
We all likely have a bit of Neanderthal in our DNA -- including Africans who had been thought to have no genetic link to our extinct human relative, a new study finds. Evidence that our early ...

It’s rare that ancient DNA from Neanderthals remains as intact as scientists would like. But on the lucky occasion that researchers do find high-quality genomes, the implications are ...
Thin stretches of the human X chromosome look oddly empty when you scan for Neanderthal DNA. Geneticists even have a name for the gaps: "Neanderthal deserts." They sit there like blank tape in an ...
