Neanderthal Genomics Suggests a Pleistocene Time Frame for the First Epidemiologic Transition

2015-03-31

Abstract excerpt

High quality Altai Neanderthal and Denisovan genomes are revealing which regions of archaic hominin DNA have persisted in the modern human genome. A number of these regions are associated with response to infection and immunity, with a suggestion that derived Neanderthal alleles found in modern Europeans and East Asians may be associated with autoimmunity. Independent sources of DNA-based evidence allow a re-evalu...
