staff reporter

NEW YORK – A subset of the alleles that made their way into Eurasian populations through mixing with Neanderthals represent genetic variation that was shared in the common human-Neanderthal ancestor, but lost in humans after the lineages split, according to new research from researchers at Vanderbilt University and elsewhere.
