Neanderthal Extinction: Blood Group Incompatibility as a Contributing Factor
A new study suggests that blood group incompatibility between Neanderthals and modern humans, specifically a rare Rh factor in Neanderthals causing neonatal hemolytic disease in mixed offspring, may have contributed to Neanderthal extinction.

Oldest Homo Sapiens DNA Reveals Neanderthal Interbreeding
Scientists have recovered the oldest known Homo sapiens DNA from 45,000-year-old remains in Germany, revealing interbreeding with Neanderthals around 1,500 years prior and providing a refined timeline for human migration and Neanderthal introgression.

Ancient DNA Reveals Extensive Neanderthal-Human Interbreeding
Genetic analysis of 42,000-49,000 year-old human remains from Thuringia and Czechia reveals a significant interbreeding event between Neanderthals and early modern humans approximately 47,000 years ago, lasting 7,000 years; this resulted in the presence of Neanderthal DNA in all non-African populati...

Neanderthal Gene Inheritance in Modern Humans: Timing, Distribution, and Adaptive Benefits
A study analyzing 334 genomes reveals that most Neanderthal gene inheritance in Eurasians occurred between 50,500 and 43,500 years ago, with East Asians exhibiting a higher percentage. Beneficial genes relate to immunity, skin pigmentation, and metabolism, indicating adaptation to diverse environmen...

New Research Pinpoints 7,000-Year Period of Human-Neanderthal Interbreeding
Two studies using skull analysis and ancient DNA reveal human-Neanderthal interbreeding occurred between 50,500 and 43,500 years ago in Europe and Asia, lasting approximately 7,000 years, contradicting previous estimates.

300,000-Year-Old Fossils Found in China Rewrite Human Evolution Timeline
Excavations at the Hualongdong site in Anhui Province, China, unearthed 11 human fossils dating back 300,000 years, representing the earliest Homo sapiens-like fossils in East Asia, challenging existing theories on human evolution and migration.
