The male and female bones in the new study contain DNA that tells a story: The early Neanderthals had more in common with the later Neanderthals than they did with their contemporaries who lived in Siberia at the same time
The Neanderthal genome was sequenced in 2010, but mystery still surrounds the early history of our extinct human relative.
Now, after researchers were able to extract nuclear genome sequences from two Neanderthal bones that predate others with sequenced genomes, a new study aims to answer some of the remaining questions. The study focuses on a jawbone belonging to a Neanderthal girl, first discovered within Scladina Cave, Belgium, in 1993 and the femur of a male Neanderthal from Hohlenstein-Stadel Cave, Germany, found in 1937. Both lived 120,000 years ago. Femur of the Hohlenstein-Stadel Neanderthal.
