No. While most modern humans have 1 to 4 percent Neanderthal DNA in them, Sub-Saharan Africans don't have any.

Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons are all examples of?

ancient human species who lived during the Paleolithic period. They were early ancestors of modern humans and exhibited complex behaviours and tool-making abilities.


When did neanderthals start roming the earth and when did they all die?

Neanderthals first appeared around 400,000 years ago and went extinct around 40,000 years ago. They coexisted and interacted with early modern humans for a significant period of time before eventually dying out.


All human beings today belong to the subspecies of human being?

That is correct. Modern humans belong to the subspecies Homo sapiens sapiens, which distinguishes us from other extinct human species like Neanderthals or Denisovans. This classification helps to differentiate contemporary humans from our ancestors or other closely related species.


HOW DID SAPIEN MATE WITH NEANDERTHAL?

There is evidence for interbreeding between archaic and modern humans during the Middle ... Neanderthal-derived DNA was found in the genome of all contemporary populations. ... raised in Neanderthal groups and became extinct with them, or that female Neanderthals and male Sapiens did not produce fertile offspring.


Did Neanderthals live alongside Homo sapiens for thousands of years?

Yes, evidence suggests that Neanderthals and Homo sapiens lived alongside each other in certain regions of Europe and Asia for thousands of years, with interbreeding occurring between the two groups. However, Neanderthals eventually went extinct around 40,000 years ago.

Describe the branch of direct ancestors to modern humans?

Modern humans can be traced back to both Anatomically modern Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals. Anatomically Modern Homo Sapiens share all the same physical characteristics of humans evolved in Africa about 200,000 years ago. Neanderthals also evolved 200,000 years ago but went extinct while AM Homo Sapiens lived on. Neanderthals share a great deal of characteristics with modern humans and anthropologist have suggested that Neanderthals and AM Homo Sapiens may have interbred.


What was the most likely cause of the extinction of Neanderthals?

Either climate change, or competition from Cro-Magnon man (modern humans), or a combination of both. Scientists propose that the Neanderthals were stocky and likely to be forest dwellers, getting food and shelter from the dense forests of Europe. As the climate changed and forests receded the taller, leaner modern humans were better able to cope. The last Neanderthals probably lived around southern Spain. There is genetic evidence that modern humans and Neanderthals interbred. This means that all humans apart from those of recent African ancestry have some Neanderthal genes. Africans do not as their ancestors did not leave Africa.

Are Neanderthals humans?

Neanderthals were a distinct species within the Homo genus, separate from modern humans (Homo sapiens). They lived in Eurasia and went extinct around 40,000 years ago. While they share a common ancestor with modern humans, they are not considered the same species.


Who invented the amorous kiss?

I'm sure this predates modern humans and almost all prehuman ancestors of modern humans, so there is no way of knowing.


Are apes and humans classified as hominids?

Hominid - the group consisting of all modern and extinct Great Apes (that is, modern humans, chimpanzees, gorillas and orang-utans plus all their immediate ancestors).Hominin - the group consisting of modern humans, extinct human species and all our immediate ancestors (including members of the genera Homo, Australopithecus, Paranthropus and Ardipithecus).

Explain why not all hominids are the ancestors of modern humans?

Scientists say that hominids diverged into two different creatures over time: Apes and humans


Do modern organisms have unicellular ancestors?

All modern organisms have unicellular ancestors. Even you.


What group of hominids' shows that they are identical to modern humans?

There are no hominids that are identical to modern humans except modern humans ourselves. To be classified as a different species or sub species they have to be different. There are hominids that were very similar to modern humans. Neanderthals for example would not look completely out of place at a party. Even ancient hominids share many characteristics with modern humans. Upright walking stance and intelligent think all be it less than modern humans are common amongst many of our ancestors. Yea... So the answer is Cro-Magnon... noob...
