Evolution of mental traits linked to cultural development in modern humans and Neanderthals

2024-08-16

Abstract excerpt

A cumulative process of cultural evolution occurred globally alongside the spread of anatomically modern humans (AMHs). This process of evolution was likely accompanied by global changes in mental and behavioral phenotypes, resulting in cultural differences between AMHs and Neanderthals. Globally, selective increases of frequencies were detected in alleles, which contributed to the suppression of neuroticism and a...
