We will watch part of a video called "decoding neanderthals. " The video presents an interesting discussion of recent developments in the reconstruction and analysis of the neandertal genome. It highlights the work of a team of scientists led by geneticist svante p bo (neanderthal man) and examines the relationship between neandertals and modern humans. Scientists have discovered evidence of interbreeding between neandertals and anatomically modern humans. About 1-3% of the human genome of non-african populations is neandertal.
