DNA Clues to Our Inner Neanderthal
Offered By: TED via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore groundbreaking genetic research in this 17-minute TED talk by geneticist Svante Pääbo. Discover DNA evidence revealing that early humans interbred with Neanderthals after migrating out of Africa, resulting in many modern humans carrying Neanderthal DNA. Learn how advanced DNA analysis techniques allowed researchers to identify an entirely new humanoid species from a single tiny bone fragment. Gain insights into the fascinating field of paleogenetics and its implications for understanding human evolution and our genetic heritage.
