Researchers in Leipzig have successfully sequenced the genetic code of a Neanderthal, and found some overlap with modern-day Europeans.

Awesome! ♥

I listened to that yesterday on NPR. So cool!

Isn't that just the neatest thing ever? &hearts

I have to admit, I'm kind of sitting here going "...I'm part Neanderthal! AWESOME!" Which, you know. Silly since, so's everybody else whose genetics are mostly from Europe. But still! ♥

(Also - is this the same article you linked to? I noticed your link right at the end of my lunch break, so I didn't have a chance to see if it was a different article with new stuff.)

Mine should be a link to the actual research paper. Which, er, might explain why very few people have commented on it, lol!

Oooo, must go back and look at that this evening, then! I'm very interested to see the details of all this. :D

Yay, Neanderthal love! Seriously, for some reason it annoys me when people dismiss them as ''dumber'' than Cro Magnons.

Oh, this is wondrous. I love it! Especially the part about modern Africans being the only 'real' humans. LOL.
