Anthropologists Made a Stunning Discovery About Neanderthals

Anthropologists have uncovered something pretty fascinating about Neanderthals—they might not have completely gone extinct like we thought. Instead, it seems they might have been absorbed into the modern human gene pool. A new study shows that Neanderthal DNA could include up to 3.7% of modern human genes. This suggests that humans and Neanderthals interbred more than we previously realized. So, in a way, Neanderthals are still with us today, just mixed into our DNA.
