Neanderthal Blood Protein Incompatibilities May Have Contributed to Extinction

Evidence has emerged suggesting that unique blood proteins in Neanderthals may have contributed to their eventual disappearance as a species. Research involving the genetic sequencing of early hominid populations, including Neanderthals, Denisovans, and Homo sapiens, has revealed significant differences in red blood cell antigens. These variations, according to scientists, might have played a role in … Read more
