‘A history of contact’: Princeton geneticists are rewriting the narrative of Neanderthals and other ancient humans. DNA from 3 Neanderthals and 1 Denisovan establishes that from the time our ancestors evolved -- about 250,000 years ago -- until the Neanderthals disappeared, they were swapping DNA.

First multi-individual Neanderthal mitogenomes from north of the Carpathians
Picin et al. report eight Neanderthal mitogenomes from Stajnia Cave, identifying at
least seven individuals and placing them in MIS 5. This oldest multi-individual genetic
assemblage in Central Europe expands the record of Micoquian-related populations and…
