DNA Analysis Links Neanderthals to African Ancestry

July 10th, 1997 27 years ago

In London, scientists presented significant findings from DNA analysis of a Neanderthal skeleton that bolster the 'Out of Africa' theory of human evolution. The research suggests that modern humans can trace their lineage back to an 'African Eve' who lived between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago. This discovery has substantial implications for understanding human ancestry and migration patterns. The findings were announced at a notable symposium focusing on the genetic heritage of humans.
