Effects of introgressed Neanderthal alleles on present-day brain morphology

2026-04-14

Abstract excerpt

Neanderthal introgression contributed a small fraction of genetic variants to present-day non-African genomes. While differences in cranial globularity between Neanderthal and modern humans are well documented from endocasts, the phenotypic consequences of these introgressed alleles can illuminate otherwise inaccessible genetically divergent brain structures. We analyzed 370 MRI-derived brain traits—including cort...
