Over 60,000 years ago, the first modern humans -- people physically identical to us today -- left their African homeland and entered Europe, then a bleak and inhospitable continent in the grip of the Ice Age. But when they arrived, they were not alone: the stocky, powerfully built Neanderthals had already been living there for hundreds of thousands of years. So what happened when the first modern humans encountered the Neanderthals? Did they make love or war? That question has tantalized generations of scholars and seized the popular imagination. Then, in 2010, a team led by geneticist Svante Paabo announced stunning news. Not only had they reconstructed much of the Neanderthal genome -- an extraordinary technical feat that would have seemed impossible only a decade ago -- but their analysis showed that "we" modern humans had interbred with Neanderthals, leaving a small but consistent signature of Neanderthal genes behind in everyone outside Africa today. In "Decoding Neanderthals," NOVA explores the implications of this exciting discovery. In the traditional view, Neanderthals differed from "us" in behavior and capabilities as well as anatomy. But were they really mentally inferior, as inexpressive and clumsy as the cartoon caveman they inspired? NOVA explores a range of intriguing new evidence for Neanderthal self-expression and language, all pointing to the fact that we may have seriously underestimated our mysterious, long-vanished human cousins.

How Neanderthal DNA Changed Humans For more Latest and Breaking News Headlines SUBSCRIBE to https://www.youtube.com/user/ZakWorldNEWS People of European and Asian descent today retain Neanderthal DNA that may affect their hair, skin, fertility, predisposition to certain diseases and possibly other characteristics, a new study in the journal Nature suggests. The genetic material inherited from Neanderthals combined with that of humans when the two species interbred 40,000 to 80,000 years ago, the study holds. The research further supports that indigenous Africans possess little or no Neanderthal DNA because their ancestors did not breed with Neanderthals, which lived in Europe and Asia. It now appears that mating between the two species was much more prevalent than was previously suspected. Some genetic mutations introduced by Neanderthals were not beneficial to humans. Neanderthals' contribution to modern DNA was partially removed by natural selection over time. "Given the large amount of Neanderthal alleles (gene variants) that were swept away by selection, we think that there was a larger fraction of Neanderthal ancestry initially," lead author Sriram Sankararaman explained to Discovery News, adding that "we think that this ancestry was reduced by a third." Sankararaman, a post-doctoral researcher at Harvard Medical School's Department of Genetics, co-authored the paper with leading evolutionary geneticists, such as Svante Pääbo of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology and Harvard's David Reich. The researchers analyzed genetic variants in 846 people of non-African heritage, 176 people from sub-Saharan Africa and a 50,000-year-old Neanderthal. The clearest indicator that a gene variant came from a Neanderthal was if the variant appeared in some non-Africans and the Neanderthal, but not in the sub-Saharan Africans. Levels of Neanderthal ancestry differ in European and Asian groups, according to the study. Han Chinese people in Beijing, for example, have the most such ancestry while Puerto Ricans have the least. All Europeans and Asians, however, retain Neanderthal genes affecting keratin, which is a fibrous protein in skin and hair. Reich explained that keratin makes skin, hair and nails tougher and better able to withstand cold temperatures. "It's tempting to think that Neanderthals were already adapted to the non-African environment and provided this genetic benefit to humans," Reich said. It's possible that the lighter skin and hair of many Europeans was also influenced by Neanderthal ancestry, but Sankararaman indicated that further research is needed to fully make that connection. The study additionally found that genetic variants passed down from Neanderthals also affect an individual's disposition toward type 2 diabetes, Crohn's disease, lupus, a liver condition known as biliary cirrhosis and even whether a person is likely to smoke. X chromosome-related genetic mutations from Neanderthals, along with DNA associated with male sexual organs, were more likely to have been incompatible with the human genome. These were less easily exchanged between the two species. People who still retain such Neanderthal DNA, like East Asians, experience reduced fertility as a probable result. "This suggests that when ancient humans met and mixed with Neanderthals, the two species were at the edge of biological incompatibility," Reich said.

Updated: 14 Jul 2013

Los neandertales llegaron a dominar la Europa de la Edad de Hielo, pero entonces desaparecieron: ¿qué les oc urrió? Durante 150 años los científicos han estado intrigados por la condición de nuestros parientes más cercanos. Han estudiado las pruebas arqueológicas desde todos los ángulos. Ahora han recurrido al ADN y una nueva idea está tomando forma, la de que los neandertales viven dentro de nosotros, o al menos sus genes. Si los neandertales eran tan parecidos al Homo sapiens que compartimos genes, quizá deberíamos entonces reconsiderar nuestras suposiciones sobre ellos. Desde que en 1856 fue descubierto el primer neandertal por los trabajadores de una cantera en Alemania, los científicos han intentado negarles un puesto dentro de la familia de los humanos. De esta forma, se les ha identificado como individuos salvajes que habitan en cavernas, algo que forma parte ya del imaginario colectivo. En la actualidad, los anatomistas tratan de rehabilitar al neandertal: eran listos, fuertes, supervivientes de la edad de hielo, y su cerebro era mayor que el nuestro.

Neanderthals fascinate us: so much like us, yet not quite us.

University of Wisconsin biological anthropologist John Hawks is at the forefront of this species-shaking research. He presents the latest findings from the lab and field and discusses what may or may not make us uniquely human.

Svante Paabo: Neanderthal Man: In Search of Lost Genomes | Talks at Google

Order: Reorder
Duration: 46:06
Updated: 31 Mar 2014

Neanderthal Man tells the story of geneticist Svante Pääbo's mission to answer this question, and recounts his ultimately successful efforts to genetically define what makes us different from our Neanderthal cousins. Beginning with the study of DNA in Egyptian mummies in the early 1980s and culminating in the sequencing of the Neanderthal genome in 2010, Neanderthal Man describes the events, intrigues, failures, and triumphs of these scientifically rich years through the lens of the pioneer and inventor of the field of ancient DNA. We learn that Neanderthal genes offer a unique window into the lives of our hominin relatives and may hold the key to unlocking the mystery of why humans survived while Neanderthals went extinct. Drawing on genetic and fossil clues, Pääbo explores what is known about the origin of modern humans and their relationship to the Neanderthals and describes the fierce debate surrounding the nature of the two species' interactions. His findings have not only redrawn our family tree, but recast the fundamentals of human history—the biological beginnings of fully modern Homo sapiens, the direct ancestors of all people alive today. A riveting story about a visionary researcher and the nature of scientific inquiry, Neanderthal Man offers rich insight into the fundamental question of who we are.
