TL;DR: It is shown that small amounts of ancient DNA are preserved in the petrous bones of the 2 individuals despite unfavorable climatic conditions, and that the Forbes’ Quarry fossil predates the latter Neanderthals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Stem Cell Resources Are an Inroad to Neandertal DNA Functions.

TL;DR: It is shown that a large iPSC repository harbors extensive Neandertal DNA, including alleles that contribute to human phenotypes and diseases, encode hundreds of amino acid changes, and alter gene expression in specific tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Evolution: Genomic Gifts from Archaic Hominins
Benjamin Vernot,Joshua M. Akey +1 more
TL;DR: New research shows that a previously identified haplotype of the EPAS1 gene, which allows Tibetans to live at high altitude, was inherited from archaic hominin ancestors.
Posted ContentDOI
The limits of long-term selection against Neandertal introgression
TL;DR: It is found that negative selection against Neandertal ancestry has not played as strong a role in recent human evolution as had previously been assumed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Predecessors Within . . .
Benjamin Vernot,Svante Pääbo +1 more
TL;DR: By examining the genomes of present-day people from Asia, researchers show that modern humans met and interbred with Denisovans, distant relatives to Neanderthals, on at least two occasions, as a result of people today carry DNA from two different Denisovan populations.
