@zekedarwinscience: A Neanderthal gene variant may have a pretty big impact on the modern human carriers - including extra strength! It is found at the highest rate in some Pakistani populations, reaching a rate of 24%! #evolution #learning #genetics #archaeology #biology

neanderthal wasn't a species of human. theres been a rebrand happening lately but it was definitely not a human aka homosapien sapien. thats why there are only fragments in modern humans today. outside of africa. we werent completely compatible.

So I remember back in high school (in the mid 90s) a teacher saying that white and brown people (Indians and Pakistanis) were all considered Caucasian due to their skull shape. Is this what he was talking about? The Neanderthal genes that create this skull shape?

There are no ai generated images in this video. Not sure if they’re counting the snow effect I used - but Tik tok has been bad about mislabeling stuff as ai lately.

Huh, I thought Central Europeans carried the highest Neanderthal DNA. Not south Asians… am I misunderstanding this finding?

A lot of this makes me think that maybe Neanderthals we just absorbed by Homo Sapiens..

A gene responsible for muscle mass and tooth roots at the same time is wild.

I have <2% Neanderthal DNA according to 23&Me. I guess it explains my big butt. 😂

the muscle mass i dont buy that.so wju muscle mass is more pronounced in homo homo sapien i noticed that you always say homo sapien when fully developed humans are homo sapien sapien

Pacific Islanders are known to be muscular. Could it be because of Denisovans genes?
