It is likely that modern Homo sapiens interbred with the Neanderthals and the Denisovans. True False
Adi S.
Which of the following is TRUE regarding the possible interbreeding between the human and Neanderthal species? a. A limited amount of variation has been passed from Homo neanderthalensis to Eurasian populations of Homo sapiens as a result of interbreeding that probably took place in the Near East at some point within the past 100,000 years. b. There is no evidence of hybridization between Neanderthals and modern humans. Both bone mtDNA and genomics studies ruled out such interbreeding. c. Modern humans are more closely related to Neanderthals than to early Homo sapiens since there was extensive interbreeding between humans and Neanderthals about 35,000 years ago. d. Neanderthals share a common ancestor with humans about 250,000 years ago. Both species originated in Africa and migrated to Europe and Asia about 100,000 years ago.

True or False: The fact that Neanderthals had greater behavioral flexibility than anatomically modern humans is what allowed Neanderthals to survive so long once they were in direct competition with anatomically modern humans. True False True or False: The fact that Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans coexisted on the planet for some amount of time is unusual because there was usually only one hominin species alive at any time for most of hominin evolution. True False True or False: Recent studies suggest that Neanderthals contributed small amounts of DNA to the genomes of modern human populations indigenous to Europe and East Asia, but not to the genomes of modern human populations indigenous to Africa. True False True or False: Studies of mitochondrial DNA have shown that all living human beings can trace their ancestry to populations living in Africa approximately 200,000 years ago. True False True or False: The disappearance of Neanderthals and the establishment of modern human populations in Europe is what we would expect because a cold-adapted species replaced a tropically-adapted species during an ice age.
