Previously it was found that about 20% of the Neanderthal genome was found in modern Eurasians, [20] but the figure was also estimated at a third. [21] A 2023 study found an introgression from modern humans to Neanderthals around 250,000 years ago, and estimated that roughly 6% of the Altai Neanderthal genome was inherited from modern humans.

Neanderthals and Denisovans are more closely related to each other than they are to modern humans, meaning the Neanderthal/Denisovan split occurred after their split with modern humans. [ 14 ] [ 47 ] [ 93 ] [ 113 ] Assuming a mutation rate of 1 × 10 −9 or 0.5 × 10 −9 per base pair (bp) per year, the Neanderthal/Denisovan split occurred ...
At the time of the last Neanderthals, approximately 45 to 40 thousand years ago, genetic analysis suggests that there was a gene flow from Neanderthals to modern humans of around 10%, but almost no flow from modern humans to Neanderthals.
Two new studies have helped narrow down the time during which Neanderthals interbred with modern humans to a period starting about 50,500 years ago and lasting over seven millennia.. One of the ...
The Neanderthal DNA found in modern human genomes has long raised questions about ancient interbreeding. New studies offer a timeline of when that occurred and when ancient humans left Africa.
Those first modern humans that had interbred with Neanderthals and lived alongside them died out completely in Europe 40,000 years ago - but not before their offspring had spread further out into ...
The divergence time between the Neanderthal and modern human lineages is estimated at between 750,000 and 400,000 years ago. The recent time is suggested by Endicott et al. (2010) [5] and Rieux et al. (2014). [6] A significantly deeper time of parallelism, combined with repeated early admixture events, was calculated by Rogers et al. (2017). [7]
Modern humans ventured into northern Europe under extremely cold climate conditions and were living side by side with Neanderthals more than 45,000 years ago, according to new evidence.
