Humans inherited genetic material from Neanderthals that affects the shape of our noses, finds a new study led by UCL researchers...
The researchers newly identified 33 genome regions associated with face shape, 26 of which they were able to replicate in comparisons with data from other ethnicities using participants in east Asia, Europe, or Africa.
In one genome region in particular, called ATF3, the researchers found that many people in their study with Native American ancestry (as well as others with east Asian ancestry from another cohort) had genetic material in this gene that was inherited from the Neanderthals, contributing to increased nasal height...
Co-corresponding author Professor Andres Ruiz-Linares (Fudan University, UCL Genetics, Evolution & Environment, and Aix-Marseille University) added: "Most genetic studies of human diversity have investigated the genes of Europeans; our study's diverse sample of Latin American participants broadens the reach of genetic study findings, helping us to better understand the genetics of all humans."
The finding is the second discovery of DNA from archaic humans, distinct from Homo sapiens, affecting our face shape. The same team discovered in a 2021 paper that a gene influencing lip shape was inherited from the ancient Denisovans.

Cyrano can blame it all on his genes.
So the Neanderthals and their progeny skipped over eastern Asia and made it to North America.
How do they explain the short noses on Asians, then? Did they NOT interbreed with Neanderthals?
By the way, the Chinese call Westerners “Long noses.”
DO THESE GENES MAKE MY NOSE LOOK FAT?.................
Would that be related to shoe size? You sure it was long noses?
Asians interbred more with Denosovan
LOL - interesting. Never heard that before...
You get the medal, LOL!

What is the likelihood, according to the approach of science as originally established, that the “Neanderthals” are related to the Nephilim?
Forgive my speculation about a topic that has probably been discussed to the nth degree, but it seems to be a relevant question.

No, they fit you perfectly. ;-)
“Asians interbred more with Denosovan”
Wikipedia:
A 2011 study found that Denisovan DNA is prevalent in Aboriginal Australians, Near Oceanians, Polynesians, Fijians, Eastern Indonesians and Mamanwans (from the Philippines); but not in East Asians, western Indonesians, Jahai people...
Neanderthals were ancestors of all snobs.
They always had their nose in the air.
Zero. The Nephilim are a discussion of linguists and comparative lit, and have nothing to do with science.
They existed. Prior to the flood. One of the reasons God sent the flood.
If you don’t have your nose in the air, you’ll either suffocate or drown.
Neanderthal chicks are easy.
The Americas have been populated by some currently unknown (probably unknowable) number of migrations of various sizes, over a long period of time.
