Ancient Neanderthal genome reveals isolated, distinct populations
Neanderthals split into distinct regional groups that developed genetic differences far sooner than modern human populations typically did, according to a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. These findings were based on the analysis of a newly sequenced 110,000-year-old Neanderthal genome, which researchers compared with previously mapped DNA from several other Neanderthal remains.
