Where Did the Genetic Ancestor of All Modern Humans Live

Neanderthals and Denisovans are more closely related to each other than they are to modern humans meaning the NeanderthalDenisovan split occurred after their split with modern humans. 24 89 133 152 Assuming a mutation rate of 1x10 9 or 05x10 9 per base pair bp per year the NeanderthalDenisovan split occurred around either 236190 or 473381 thousand years.

Modern Humans Originated From Current Day Botswana New Study Says

This paradox is rooted in.

. The observation that the vast majority of the alleles were shared. In the Stanford study over 92 of alleles were found in two or more regions and almost half of the alleles studied were present in all seven major geographical regions. Early modern humans EMH or Cro-Magnons were the first early modern humans Homo sapiens to settle in Europe continuously occupying the continent possibly from as early as 48000 years agoThey interacted and interbred with the indigenous Neanderthals H.

And from 37000 years ago. For instance all humans have the same genes that code for hair. The different alleles are why hair comes in all types of colors and textures.

Both believing race to be a tool to elucidate human genetic diversity and believing that race is a poorly defined marker of that diversity and an imprecise proxy for the relationship between ancestry and genetics. Neanderthalensis who went extinct 40000 to 35000 years ago. The problem today is that modern genetics is stuck in a paradox that reflects Dobzhanskys own struggle with the race concept.
