A groundbreaking study suggests that a genetic incompatibility between Neanderthals and modern humans may have contributed to the extinction of our ancient relatives. Researchers found that different versions of the PIEZO1 gene could have led to miscarriages in hybrid offspring, thus impacting Neanderthal reproductive success.
Recent studies reveal a significant genetic bottleneck in the Neanderthal population around 110,000 years ago, leading to a dramatic decline in diversity and altering their evolutionary course. Discover the shocking insights into this critical event.
