Neanderthal DNA helped us fight RNA viruses — but a new genomic study finds it’s linked to higher loads of persistent DNA viruses like EBV in people today. One ancient haplotype has been declining in frequency for 10,000 years. Evolution catching up. #NeanderthalDNA #HumanEvolution #Archaeogenomics https://www.anthropology.net/p/the-neanderthal-immune-system-was

🧬 Why do humans think so differently from Neanderthals? The answer might lie in gene switches, not the genes themselves.
