No evidence of a Neanderthal contribution to modern human diversity.

Genome biology - 1 Jan 2008

Hodgson Jason A, Disotell Todd R

Abstract excerpt

The relationship between Neanderthals and modern humans is contentious, but recent advances in Neanderthal genomics have shed new light on their evolutionary history. Here we review the available evidence and find no indication of any Neanderthal contribution to modern genetic diversity.
