Answer the following question about human evolution as inferred from genome sequencing. Summarize the demographc history of humans that explains how certain populations acquired Neandertal and Denisovan DNA. (4 sentence maximum) Solution There is a hypothesis that anatomically modern human inbreed with the Neandertal population. Neandertal genome project presented genetic evidence that interbreeding did took place. Portion of Neanderthal admixture is present in the DNA of modern Eurasians and Oceanians, and nearly absent in sub-Saharan African populations. Some part of the genome of Melanesians is derived from Denisovan DNA. It is possily because of early migration of the ancestors of melanesians into southeast asia..

1. Answer the following question about human evolution as inferred from genome sequencing.
Summarize the demographc history of humans that explains how certain populations acquired
Neandertal and Denisovan DNA. (4 sentence maximum)
Solution
There is a hypothesis that anatomically modern human inbreed with the Neandertal population.
Neandertal genome project presented genetic evidence that interbreeding did took place. Portion
of Neanderthal admixture is present in the DNA of modern Eurasians and Oceanians, and nearly
absent in sub-Saharan African populations. Some part of the genome of Melanesians is derived
from Denisovan DNA. It is possily because of early migration of the ancestors of melanesians
into southeast asia.
