  6. Gene That Differs Between Humans and Neanderthals Could Shed Light On The Species Disappearance Mouse Study Suggests

     Allan Henderson (CC BY 2.0) A gene called ASDL, which helps synthesize DNA, differs between modern humans and our extinct human relatives. The findings could shed light on why Neanderthals vanished. A protein that helps synthesize DNA is different in modern humans than it is in Neanderthals and Denisovans  our closest extinct relatives  and new experiments in mice genetically modified to express the modern human version hint that this may have made us behave differently…….Continue […]

    There are quite a few such cases where the analysis of #ancientDNA has led to a #gender reassignment, exposed the tendency of previous research to assume important people to have been male until proven otherwise. See my recent feature: proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2
