  • The Neanderthals are the closest extinct relatives of all present-day human and the Neanderthal genome sequence provides unique insights into modern humans origins. Svante Pääbo, a biologist and evolutionary anthropologist, describe the current understanding of the genetic contributions of Neanderthals to present-day humans and to extinct human groups. He also describes preliminary analyses of genomic features that appeared in present-day humans since their divergence from a common ancestor shared with Neanderthals and discusses how they may be functionally analyzed in the future. Pääbo is the Director of Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. Recorded on 09/10/2014. [11/2014] [Show ID: 28720]

If you're an honest scientist or person, first thing you do is PROVIDE THE SOURCE OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE. If you say, for example, that bonobos and chimps cannot mix, where did you get that info?
    Scientists like Paabo tell you clearly where and how they got their knowledge, and deserve respect. What he presents today may be superseded or improved tomorrow, but in the meantime he is doing his best and honest work.

Then on you tube ( in these programs ) I heard that the female mule can get pregnant (exceptions of course). I imagined farmers always knew of it, but who listens to yokels. The same story between Neanderthals and sapiens. I always read about archeology and anthropology and took this for granted. Now the story has changed-they met and procreated and their DNA appears in modern Italians and others (in Tuscany, 5%.. I wonder if the Renaissance in Tuscany was due to that.

    This presentation is really terrific, in that it can be understood by a non-academic person like me. I have found Neanderthals interesting from my early adolescence when being different made me consider the bias against "being different". Early on I had compassion for theory expressing a bush progeneragion of human evolution, rather than a direct line from chimp to modern humans. Now, instead of just having a feeling that the "bush" makes more sense, than a "direct line" is made a reality by the additional information from DNA sequencing. Of course, more findings spur more questions. Thanks for all those who work for further understanding.

      Yes, and don't forget organs transplant rejection caused by protein tied to some genes acquired or not squired from Neanderthal or other early hominids. Note how this is verified with Africans who do not have Neantherdal, Denisovan or out of africa Erectus gene. Add to that the admission that species is a human construct and no valid definition of it exist. Then it's clear Africans are the most remote of human groups. If you listen carefully to the parts on neurons and proteins inherited from Neantherdal, there is a biological cause behind certain form of human intelligence tied to cognitive skills not found among other apes and found at lower levels in africans who do not have neanderthal genes. Reality disagrees with the politically correct. Racism is not a pejorative distinction or prejudice, it is the admission of these differences backed by reality. Racism does not preclude prejudice. Recognizing differences in abilities is not a prejudice. Putting people in a situation where that difference affects their lives is a prejudice. You cannot expect both groups to perform the same which is why every group deserves to live in its own adapted environment and not in a mixed society.

      Not everyone in the USA participates in "rampant consumerism." There is no single culture; there are many cultures. Just as most major religions teach some aspects of forgiveness and compassion, so most cultures share some positive traits. We love our children and want the best for them. We value family ties. We all develop rites and celebrations marking the seasons of life.
      Over the long haul of history, cultures and ethnicities have met, clashed, and eventually come to some accommodation with each other.

    I wonder if Neanderthal genetic’s predisposition to type 2 diabetes made no difference until farming created high carbohydrate diets. If Neanderthals were essentially on the Aitkins’s diet (meat and fat), then they would not tend towards high sugar obesity and therefor genetically not at risk .... until 10,000 years ago when farming changed diets. A clue would be analyzing 10,000 year old human bones to see if the Neanderthal genetic contribution shifted away from the diabetes markers since then but not before.
    I also wonder why the bulging torso? Either ability to gorge themselves when they had killed a horse to tide them over for a couple weeks with no food. Or is it for warmth (increased volume to surface area ratio for holding heat longer). The pigmentation is logically beneficial for vitamin D (critical for immune system). The hyperactive immune system may have compensated for lowered immune response due to breathing cold aiir. But now it increases likelihood of cytokine storm reaction to covid.

      People are people. We're all different, but we're all people. I believe so called "Neandethals" were people, no different than we are as people. Some people because of the difference they tried to make and taught about them in relation to the 'evolutionary' origins of people, would like to differentiate themselves from their earlier characterisation. Now that they found some of their forefathers were dipping in the Neanderthal poonahnny, the narrative begins to change..
      Since Neanderthal DNA is showing up in the genealogy, evidence of some mixing/sexing between them and "more evolved" humans. I notice more scientific articles on the benefits, of Neanderthal "genes" and how it made those who inherited them better humans.

      Interbreeding with modern humans. It is suggested that 20 percent of Neanderthal DNA survived in modern humans, notably expressed in the skin, hair and diseases of modern people. Modern human genes involved in making keratin-the protein found in skin, hair, and nails-have specially high levels of Neanderthal DNA.

    I found the difference on the spine curvature angle fascinating that Neantherdal had more straight spines, and neanderthal genes are present in europeans but not in africans. This can be observed directly on the anatomy of africans, their butts always stick out because of the increased curvature angle. It does not matter if thin or fat, child or old, male or female, this is universally noticeable in all Africans and it confirms the research. It's an untold reality. The question of the function of a more curved spine has been tied to the ability to climb trees and jump higher. This explains basketball.

      ​@@thomasjackson2223 no, it becomes evident that homo sapiens is an artificial language construct and that those who stayed in africa (africans) and did not mix with at least 4 other hominids : neanderthal, denisovan, out of africa homo erectus and the 4th mysterious one mentioned in this lecture, are missing proteins tied to neural network development, cognitive functions. When added together the genome of neanderthal present in out of africa population today (not africans) is at least 20% of the neanderthal genome, he said possibly 40% (altough all of it never present at the same time in a single individual). That clearly establishes a huge difference between europeans + asians and africans. Add to this that species is an artificial construct and we should be talking about different modern hominids when comparing africans to non africans. As this research advances i am sure one day we will, when people are ready to admit that racism is not inherently pejorative, only what you make of it matters. If racism was pejorative we would 'a forciori' eradicate all other species on earth but we don't, we recognize the need for different natural habitats for different species, so they may all thrive. This is the positive way to embrace racism. The negative way is what we are doing forcing them to live together in a melting pot in the habitat molded by the dominant hominid that will always favor one at the expense of the other. Furthermore it is better to keep pockets of highly differentiated hominids than to try to homogenize it all in a globalized habitat.

    I was always taught that the best definition of speciation is when the 2 variants can no longer mate and produce viable offspring. So in order to be different "species" then Homo Sapiens and Neanderthal would not be able to interbreed, which we now know was not the case, as is with the Denisovans also. The divergence is thought to have had to occur more than 1 million years for that to happen with primates, this is what I learned in my evolutionary bioloogy courses in college. So according to that set of criteria, Neanderthals and Denisovans, and even other hominid variants may have all been the same species, just different variants, which eventually interbred to produce what we today know as modern humans, but since none diverged more than 1 mil years before, and they could interbreed, by those standards they would be considered the same species. I don't know if they have moved those goalposts since I earned my degree in 1997. But that's what they taught us back then..

      "species" is purely a constructed concept. We can happily make claims about whether or not different dinosaurs, for example, are the same or different species, without knowing whether they can reproduce, using the morphological species concept. Plenty of plant species can successfully hybridize. At the end of the day, the species of an organism is nothing more than an admittedly extremely useful way of sorting life into categories which are entirely decided by people.

So even this classical definition of species sometimes failed! But that's Ok! Life and evolution are richer than our understanding of them! 🇨🇷

    Around 1:03 a woman brought up the therory of Neandertal technology, I wasn't to keen on Svante's response. Neandertal community had it's creative evolution just as Cro Magnon or how did they flint spear heads and cutting tools or tan animal hides for clothing. I have a feeling Neandertal population started dwindling, therefore less creative individuals.

      The Neanderthals not only invented the spearhead, they invented clothing, waterproofing of clothing, the first industrial strength adhesive, and possibly even written language. Our Neanderthal cousins were no idiots. The Mousterian represents the first higher culture of human beings and represents a true breaking away from Homo erectus.

    Thanks for the excellent presentation given in a superb style. On the question as to why neanderthal did not have much progress in 300K years while humans had a lot in just 100K I think you gave the answer yourself - during those 300K years, at any given time there were just a few neanderthals living in small groups separated by great distances. Modern man started to make fast progress after some critical population mass had been reached. Maybe neanderthals had low fertility rates? This would explain why testical dns had been selected out of our genome.

      It is appearing more likely as time goes by that the Neanderthals were likely absorbed by the people science used to refer to as the Cro Magnons. The Cro Magnons seem to have originated somewhere in the Caucasus, where the bulk of interbreeding between Neanderthals and Cro Magnons occurred. They were both likely mammoth steppe hunters in that region. The actual Cro Magnons, per se, originated in the Caucasus and probably travelled into the European interior to escape the terrible end of the Last Ice Age.

      Different time frames. Mammoths were still alive in northern Siberia when the pyramids were being built, about 5000 years ago. The last Neandertals disappeared about 40,000 years ago. So any mummified remains of Neandertals or Denisovans would have had to last 9 or 10 times longer in the permafrost than the mammoths and other animals discovered there.

    I always heard that Neanderthals and Cromagnon couldn’t reproduce when they coupled. And that the Neanderthals went existing. I always heard that mules are the offspring of a horse and a donkey. And that mules were infertile. But there were cases that mules coupled with either horses and donkeys and were fertile. So genetics doesn’t always follow the rules. Apply this knowledge to the Neanderthals and Cromagnons. We are a mixed race from eons back.
