An evolutionary medicine perspective on Neandertal extinction.

Journal of human evolution - 1 Jul 2017

Sullivan Alexis P, de Manuel Marc, Marques-Bonet Tomas, Perry George H

Abstract excerpt

The Eurasian sympatry of Neandertals and anatomically modern humans - beginning at least 45,000 years ago and possibly lasting for more than 5000 years - has sparked immense anthropological interest into the factors that potentially contributed to Neandertal extinction. Among many different hypotheses, the "differential pathogen resistance" extinction model posits that Neandertals were disproportionately affected...
