Neanderthal DNA mapped from Croatia bone fragment
Scientists report mapping over a million Neanderthal DNA blocks from a Croatia bone fragment dating 38,000 years. Analyses by Paabo Rubin and colleagues place human Neanderthal divergence around 500,000 years ago and find little interbreeding evidence. The work in Nature and Science shows 99.5 to 99.9 percent identity with modern humans.
