Hmm ... this sound interesting. Thanks for the post. I will read it later.

"genetic diversity among Neandertals was higher than previously thought.."
So why are they extinct?

the mtDNA sequences from the nine neandertal specimens that have been analyzed to date ... do not match those found among modern humans, suggesting that little, if any, interbreeding took place. This could be explained if Neanderthal women were exceedingly unappealing, and the only interbreeding that took place was between Neanderthal men and HS women.

Very interesting. Too bad its only 112 bp, but then its 100,000 years old so that's a great start.
Maybe they will be able to squeeze a bit more out of that tooth in time. The techniques are improving very quickly.

The Neandertal specimen analyzed consists in a molar of a 10-12 year-old child....... If the cild was dead, then there was no chance for it to pass on its DNA.........

do not match those found among modern humans, suggesting that little, if any, interbreeding took place. Most likely because modern women didn't care much for that "knock 'em over the head & drag 'em back to the cave" sort of dating scene. ;-)
But modern guys invented the "paper bag" to facilitate interbreeding attempts between them and Neandertal women. ;-)

More on Neanderthal genetics.
You still holding to your Cor Magnon tooth story?
To: PatrickHenry
I'm confused. How does the MtDNA from one specimen show any level of diversity, even when compared with later samples?

last I checked, we had only a paltry number of Neandertal specimen to study - something like 100 - of which only a dozen or so are relatively complete. I'd be a LOT happier with discussions concerning the "disappearance" of this advanced hominid if we had good comarative SOMATIC DNA assays to look at.
