#Humans faced a #closecall with #extinction nearly #1millionyearsago
The human population may have lingered at about 1,300 for more than 100,000 years
That population bottleneck could have fueled the divergence between #modernhumans, #Neanderthals and #Denisovans.
Previous research suggested that modern humans originated about 300,000 years ago in Africa.

Lingering effects of Neanderthal DNA found in #modernhumans @cornell @elife https://elifesciences.org/articles/80757 https://phys.org/news/2023-06-lingering-effects-neanderthal-dna-modern.html

There is a fact in Anthropology that I love telling people because it seems to blow their minds, for whatever reason, constantly…but that fact is that there is more genetic diversity within Africa than in the rest of the world.

" #Neanderthals and early #ModernHumans spiced up their foods with a variety of plants and seeds."

"One of the oldest charred #food remains ever found show that jazzing up your dinner is a human habit dating back at least 70,000 years."
