Looking at Neanderthal tools and injuries, the inference is that they were up-close hunters. The most accurate description is that they were ambush predators who were extremely powerful at close range and capable of tremendous bursts of speed over short distances. What no one has noted so far is that they have an analog among the felids: the saber-tooth cats with their bearlike builds. This hunting strategy is diametrically opposite to that of anatomically modern humans who are the most effective persistence hunters on the planet. We teamed up with canids who are coursers, and that spelled the end of Pleistocene megafauna in most places. Now, what would make for a fascinating video is an exclusively European trait: Rh-negativity. It has been suggested that the original anatomically modern human population in Europe was totally Rh-negative. I read a paper some years ago that contended universal Rh-negativity was the result of extreme selection pressure from Babesia. Ask anyone who is Rh-negative (including Yours Truly), and they'll tell you that their immune system is different. We also run cooler. 98.6 is like a fever for me. Someone should look into whether selection for Rh-negativity was the result of hybridization with Neanderthals rather than Babesia. I think it must have something to do with markedly different immune systems coming together.

There's a TH-cam video of a recent interview of David Reich. He is now saying the amount of Neandertal DNA in modern humans is actually much higher than previously thought. I believe he said in the video Neandertal DNA is more in the 30% range for non-sub-Saharan African modern humans.
Thanks. I saw parts of that interview, but I think he was saying the percentage of the Neanderthal genome in moderns humans is around 20-30%, but that's added up from different small parts of around 2% in individual people. I may be wrong though.
Although it is has been found that some Neanderthals had red hair. Modern humans who have red didnt inherit that gene from them. The red hair genes of modern humans have evolved separately. The mutations for red hair in humans are not the same as the ones found in the fully sequenced genomes from Neanderthals. Sorry to disappoint you. Its a bit of an urban myth.
@@whitemale6227 ? Red hair evolved in modern humans, independently of neanderthals some where around 30 to 70 thousands years ago. Yeah thats in the past.
If among Europeans, Scandinavians have more alleles related to Neanderthals, in fact Northeastern Europe has the highest frequencies as do Finns and Uralic-speaking Russians. However, the highest frequencies are not related to Europeans, it has been observed that Asians have higher allelic frequencies related to Neanderthals, more specifically in Northeastern Asians, Tibetans and in Oceania more specifically in Papuans. Higher frequencies of archaic HLA genes have been observed in Finnish populations, these genes are related to resistance to certain types of pathogens, which African populations did not have.
@@user-yt3xd2jl6d ain't that interesting. Finns have more neanderthal than than rest of Europe and east Asia more neanderthal DNA than Europe. Well I'll be surprised the color of red
@@noahtylerpritchett2682 It is not yet understood why Asian or Oceanic populations have more Neanderthal related DNA. Three hypotheses; the first that Neanderthals and Denisovans in Asia mixed, this makes sense since Denisovans found in Siberia have between 16% and 50% Neanderthal DNA, when anatomically modern humans left Africa they first mixed with Neanderthals from the Middle East and then mixed with Denisovans (who already had Neanderthal admixture). The second hypothesis, Denisovan populations collapsed in Asia and were replaced by Siberian Neanderthals, then the humans who arrived mixed with these Neanderthals, however this second theory cannot explain why Oceanic populations have high frequencies of Neanderthal DNA. Third hypothesis, Neanderthals in Europe were highly inbred (studies have shown this), inbreeding led to the accumulation of many genes associated with genetic diseases, so natural selection simply weeded out the harmful genes in Europeans, but Asian & Denisovan Neanderthals were not as inbred, so they weeded out fewer Neanderthal genes.
The reason Neanderthal dna is reducing with time is that the Neanderthal population was quite small, covered a large area and were quite inbred. They had a lot of deleterious mutations due to this inbreeding. The genealogical ancestry from Neanderthals is 10 - 20%, but the genetic ancestry is 2%.
Interesting. Recent feeds in Ancestry & DNA hypothesis tend to still split hairs due to current details and a lot more tendencies previously thought now much more than over just a decade ago. In another update actually on cave dwellers, I couldn't help myself by thinking... Now, this should be a truer version of real Cavemen!!😂
Neanderthals are definitely still with us, you only need to walk around the Asda in Falkirk to watch them gathering in the drinks aisle on a Friday night. Seriously, I'd love to have a higher level of Neanderthal DNA just for bragging rights. Alice Roberts (Osteoarcheologist) has got a higher neanderthal DNA count than most people, so it can't be bad.
Ireland --- Commercial Sea Kelp Farming For Iodine Aquaculture is grossly underdeveloped in Ireland and is a potential goldmine. Iodine in Sea Kelp is essential for pregnant women and children's growing brains. Rice Fields In China And Calorie Production Per Unit Area Rice fields produce more than twice as many calories per unit area than wheat. A diet based upon rice can sustain life however with acute nutritional deficiencies. Thus due to nutritional deficiencies the brain will not develop to its full potential. Specifically a lack of Iodine and lack of fat soluble Vitamins results in underdevelopment of the brain. Sea Weed and Sea Kelp are an essential part of the diet in many countries in the Northern Hemisphere for example Japan and Korea and Taiwan and China and Hong Kong and Singapore. Specifically the Chinese population place vast emphasis on Sea Vegetables due to their Iodine content for pregnant women and children's growing brains. Western Europe correlate the coastal countries and regions and innovation and scientific, technological and economic development this is primarily due to the Iodine in the diet from sea vegetables for example Sea Weed and Sea Kelp. Iodine in the diet specifically for pregnant women and children's growing brains goes a long way to explaining national mean IQ statistics and historic economic development and economic dominance of some countries over others. The importance of Iodine in the diet has been forgotten in the West and specifically for pregnant women and children's growing brains. Commercial farming of Sea Kelp is a potential gold mine in Western Europe especially in the countries with an Atlantic coastline for example Ireland and Britain and Norway and Portugal and Spain. Baffles me how the importance of Iodine Salt in the diet has been forgotten. Increasing Iodine in the diet for pregnant women and children's growing brains will in theory increase mean IQ and increase economic competiveness further down the road. The Chinese are well aware of this fact and it explains one of the reasons why the Chinese and Taiwan and Hong Kong and Singapore economies are so efficient and competitive. Long overdue Europe and the West develops their commercial Sea Kelp Farming Industry to increase the Iodine Salt supply in the food chain specifically for pregnant women and children's growing brans.
