Neanderthals Dna

Neanderthals Strange Disappearance.

Over 30,000 Bp the creatures who roamed earth's surface were not the same as today's modern Human. Our distant cousin Neanderthal existed in the southern and central areas among Europe as early as 400,000 Bp and disappeared very rapidly at roughly 35 kya (Fabre V, and Condemi S, and Degioanni A. pg.1). Our Cosine The Neanderthal and modern Humans are related more than some wish to believe, the DNA only differs about 0.12% (Wall JD, and Kim SK pg.1). Although apart of the Homo Sapiens genes and sharing almost identical DNA, Neanderthals lived very different physical and cultural lives than modern humans. It is believed that modern Humans making there way out of Africa and Neanderthals lived in the presence of Neanderthals roughly 86,000 Bp up until there quick exit 35,000-37,000 Bp (Sankararaman S and, Patterson N and, Li H, Pääbo S and, Reich D Pg:1). Neanderthals suddenly disappeared from the archeological record around 35/37 Kya Bp and it has left the question what happened? Modern Science has formulated multiple philosophy's on the reasons behind the Neanderthals Disappearance. Ranging from Modern Humans killing off the Neanderthal population, to overwhelming populations of modern humans breading out the Neanderthal gene.

A few facts and information on Neanderthals is important to help better understand the widely debated topic of there relationship to Modern Humans. First off Neanderthals are a smaller more stocky/robust version of modern humans. They have smaller brain sizes roughly 1,450 cc, males have an average size and weight of 63-6 inches (5' 2"ft), 171 pounds and females roughly 143 pounds and 60 inches (5"). This population was short and robust in stature with large brains. The primitive specie used Stone tools, Fire, cave shelters, lived in social group, and were potentially the first homo creature to use cave art (Hardy BL, ad Moncel M-H pg 3). Neanderthals were advanced for their time and shared...
