Neanderthal genome yields insights into human evolution and evidence of interbreeding with modern humans


***** For those of you that dont know much about neandertals... Up until now it has been highly speculated by evolutionary anthropologists that neanderthal bred with homo sapiens because it was believe that genetically they were not similar enough to reproduce. It was believed that if neanderthal and humans interbred, the offspring would be sterile. Similar to breeding tigers and lions. It is evident that these speculations were incorrect. I look forward to seeing what else they find about our closest cousins!!!!
