All modern humans, except Sub-Sahara Africans, carry 1 to 4 percent Neanderthal DNA in their genome.

What does the debate about Neandertals' relation to anatomically modern humans focus on?

The debate focuses on whether Neanderthals interbred with anatomically modern humans and contributed to our gene pool, or if they were a separate evolutionary lineage that went extinct without significant genetic exchange. Research is ongoing to analyze genetic evidence and anatomical characteristics to better understand the relationship between Neanderthals and modern humans.

The disappearance of Neandertals was probably caused by?

a combination of factors, including competition with modern humans, interbreeding, and environmental changes such as climate fluctuations. These factors likely contributed to the decline and eventual extinction of the Neandertals.


When did anatomically modern humans 1st inhabit different parts of the world?

The experts in Spain are sitting on anatomically modern bones that they have named "Homo Antecessor". These ancient humans had a completely flat face the same as ours, and light bones with shallow muscle inserts, same as ours. However, since Homo Antecessor can be proven conclusively to be at least 800, 000 years old. It is beyond dispute that Homo Antecessor is totally modern and definitely not a predecessor of homo Neanderthal as claimed by the Spanish who are sitting on this find and keeping it misunderstood. It is politically correct to consider that anatomically modern humans are only 200,000 years old. But, for all to see, there is Homo Antecessor looking just like you and me. We humans are very old indeed.

Some variance here but the spread on the emergence of modren humans, Homo sapiens, is from 200,000 to 100,000 years ago and in Africa.


How many years is human life?

Your English is quite poor. I assume you are asking how long have humans inhabited the earth and been in existence.An early form of human (but not anatomically) began 500,000 years ago. Anatomically modern humans appeared about 200,000 years ago.Non-modern varieties of Homo are certain to have survived until after 30,000 years ago, and perhaps until as recent as 10,000 years ago.
