Some Neanderthals Were Genetically Healthy Right Up Until the End: Not all populations of the ancient human species were struggling prior to their mysterious demise

Genetic sequencing of multiple late Neanderthals living less than 52,500 years ago provides an overview of genetic diversity and demonstrates that even low-coverage nuclear genome…

A surge of genetic data from the skeletal remains of Neanderthals disproves some assumptions and generates fresh questions about these ancient hominins.
