Q1 ) Svante Paabo and colleagues sequenced the Neanderthal genome from fossils and compared the sequences to modern humans. According to the data below, did the two species interbreed when they overlapped in Europe? Explain.
MODERN AFRICA100%
MODURN HUMMAN GENES 98%
NEANDERTHAN GENES 2%
A) Yes. Modern humans and Neanderthals interbred in Europe after modern humans migrated out of Africa. This explains why modern Africans have no Neanderthal genes, but many humans in other parts of the world do carry them.
B) No. Modern humans and Neanderthals interbred in Africa and then migrated to Europe. Africans don't have Neanderthal genes because they interbred much earlier and these genes have already eliminated.
