[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] One recent article suggested East Asians have more Neaderthal ancestry that Europeans but it hasn't been verified yet by many other researchers Europeans average 1-4% Neanderthal ancestry The people with the highest average level of Neanderthal ancestry are the Papua New Guineans who look somewhat African. They average 5.5% Denisova ( a hominid similar to Neaderthal) Most Africans have little Neanderthal ancestry however some (under 1%) was detected in Yoruba African Americans, however, averaging 12-22% Non-African also have, on average, small amounts of Neanderthal ancestry due to this recent admixture The Neanderthals died out about 30,000 years ago [IMG]http://www.realhistoryww.com/world_history/ancient/Images_Thrace/first_european.jpg[/IMG] Oase 2 is a fossilized human skull thought to be from sometime in the first 5,000 years of human habitation of Europe. It was found in the Peștera cu Oase cave in southwestern Romania, with other human samples from the time. The skull has the same proportions as modern human craniums and has other features that are non-Neanderthal http://www.foxnews.com/story/2007/01/16/ancient-skull-has-both-neanderthal-modern-characteristics.html?sPage=fnc.science/evolution The reconstructed cranium is called Oase 2. Radiocarbon dating revealed only that it is at least 35,000 years old. But its mandible is similar to Oase 1, found previously at the surface of the cave and dated more firmly to about 40,500 years ago. The team has concluded that both fossils are the same age. These are the earliest modern human remains so far found in Europe. Odd skull Oase 2 has the same proportions as modern human craniums and has other features that are non-Neanderthal. But other features are unusual for a modern human, the scientists say. These include a retreating forehead and exceptionally large upper molars, characteristics found principally among the Neanderthals. "Technically, this skull is a modern human, but humans as we know them today have evolved considerably since then," Trinkaus said. Nature (2015) doi:10.1038/nature14558 [b]An early modern human from Romania with a recent Neanderthal ancestor[/b] Qiaomei Fu, Mateja Hajdinjak, Oana Teodora Moldovan, Silviu Constantin, Swapan Mallick, Pontus Skoglund, Nick Patterson, Nadin Rohland, Iosif Lazaridis, Birgit Nickel, Bence Viola, Kay Prüfer, Matthias Meyer, Janet Kelso, David Reich & Svante Pääbo Neanderthals are thought to have disappeared in Europe approximately 39,000–41,000 years ago but they have contributed 1–3% of the DNA of present-day people in Eurasia1. Here we analyse DNA from a 37,000–42,000-year-old2 modern human from Peştera cu Oase, Romania. Although the specimen contains small amounts of human DNA, we use an enrichment strategy to isolate sites that are informative about its relationship to Neanderthals and present-day humans. [b]We find that on the order of 6–9% of the genome of the Oase individual is derived from Neanderthals, [/b]more than any other modern human sequenced to date. Three chromosomal segments of Neanderthal ancestry are over 50 centimorgans in size, indicating that this individual had a Neanderthal ancestor as recently as four to six generations back. However, the Oase individual does not share more alleles with later Europeans than with East Asians, suggesting that the Oase population did not contribute substantially to later humans in Europe. ____________________________________ [/QB][/QUOTE]
