Dr Hugo Zeberg, assistant professor in the department of neuroscience at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, talks to Jason Goodyer about his research into Neanderthal genes and the impact they could have on COVID-19 patients.
How much of the human genome has been inherited from Neanderthals?
If you have roots from outside of Africa, then roughly 2 per cent of your DNA is Neanderthal. But if we put all these pieces together, we find more than half of the Neanderthal genome in modern humans. But it will differ between people: some carry some pieces, some carry other pieces.
How do we know that modern humans inherited Neanderthal DNA?
During the last two decades people have been studying this, and a draft Neanderthal genome was published 10 years ago. Svante Pääbo and his colleagues at the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig, with whom I collaborate, managed to extract the whole DNA code from Neanderthal bones that we can compare to people living today.
We have three really good Neanderthal genomes: one from a Neanderthal found in Croatia, and two found in Siberia.

Lool!
Life just seems more complete when you can illicit a C’MON MAN outa Joe Biden
What a bunch of nonsense. Good grief! In a tumultuous year as 2020, we have people publishing this sort of stuff. Man...everyone looking for ten minutes of notoriety.

Indeed. This is clickbait nonsense.
“I’ll sock it to ya, Daddy!”
Lumping “Asians” as a group is rather silly.
Israel is in Asia, for example.

Interesting. I never knew that.

That’s freaking hilarious.
>>It’s the same “science” that coined things like “testosterone poisoning” and “anthropomorphic climate change”.<<
It’s the same scientific nonsense that keeps bilking taxpayers out of hundreds of millions of dollars in useless university science project grants. Same sort of nonsense as LQBTQLMNOP frogs mating patterns.
Good lungs on that one, eh???
“Neanderthal Genes Could Increase The Severity Of COVID-19 Symptoms”
Not true at all or most of the members of Congre$$ and the Democratic party would be dead by now.
“Neanderthal Jeans” sounds like the hottest new item at The Gap. All the cool are wearing them.
*all the cool kids..
The chain drive wallet was a nice touch, very fitting.
In fact, the Australian Aboriginies have a heavier brow ridge than do Neanderthals.
We Are Neanderthals.
I’m not sure what the heck that is.
If it’s a serious ad and product or not.
Says “Wrangler” on it. But could it be that they just didn’t realize how much the model resembles a neanderthal?
