How Did The Neanderthals Go Extinct?
Neanderthals are our closest extinct human relatives. They lived in Eurasia 200,000 to 30,000 years ago. There was roughly a 5000 year period where both Neanderthals and Humanslived in the same place at the same time. During this period there was inbreeding between the 2 species. The proof is in our DNA. 1.5 to 2.6 percent of the DNA of anyone outside Africa is of Neanderthal origin. Interestingly enough, this DNA can have an affect on your personality!Please support After Skool on Patreon!
