往北迁徙过程中突变产生了这些DNA。
下面这篇文章说 在现在人类中没有发现任何Neanderthals 的线粒体DNA谱系,这么说现在人类只含有Neanderthals的部分核DNA 片段,如Neanderthals 真的当时和人类交配把DNA穿给了人类却没有把线粒体DNA 传给人类,难道只有男Neanderthals与女性人类交配,就没有女性Neanderthals与男性人类交配?这是不可能的。
这文章还说当时人类种群的遗传多样性比Neanderthals大的多,说明当时人类种群的数量比Neanderthals大的多,一个小种群的Neanderthals是如何能把DNA传给比自己数量大的多的几乎非洲以外的所有人类个体的?
Fast Facts:
-
Neanderthals are genetically distinct from modern humans, but are more closely related to us than chimpanzees are
-
The Neanderthal and modern human lineages diverged about 550,000 years ago
-
So far, we have no evidence of Neanderthal mtDNA lineages in modern humans
-
Neanderthals were not as genetically diverse as modern humans were at the same period, indicating that Neanderthals had a smaller population size
-
Neanderthal nuclear DNA shows further evidence of small population sizes, including genetic evidence of incest
-
As technology improves, researchers are able to detect and analyze older and more fragmentary samples of DN
