Neanderthals mated with modern humans 100,000 years ago: Scientists
Q. Which group has mated with modern humans 100,00 years ago, tens of thousands of years earlier than previously estimated, according to scientists?- Published on 19 Feb 16a. Homo Neanderthalas
b. Homo Erectus
c. Homo Rudolfensis
d. Homo Habilis
ANSWER: Homo Neanderthalas
Neanderthals may have mated with modern humans 100,000 years ago associated with new study based on several DNA analysis methods. This is tens of thousands of years earlier than previously thought. This marks the first genetic evidence of a scenario in which early modern humans left the African continent and mixed with the now-extinct members of the human family prior to the migration of the ancestors of present-day non-Africans, less than 65,000 years ago.
This finding, the result of several kinds of advanced computer modelling algorithms comparing complete genomes of 100s of contemporary humans with complete and partial genomes of 4 archaic humans, has implications for human migration patterns. People of European, Eurasian and Asian descent have well-identified Neanderthal-derived segments in their genome.
