Decoding Neanderthals
Description
Over 60,000 years ago, the first modern humans left their African homeland and entered Europe, where Neanderthals had been living for hundreds of thousands of years. In 2010, a team led by geneticist Svante Paabo reconstructed much of the Neanderthal genome, discovering that they had interbred with humans, leaving a small but consistent signature of Neanderthal genes behind in everyone outside Africa today. In this program, NOVA explores a range of new evidence for Neanderthal self-expression and language, suggesting we may have underestimated our mysterious, long-vanished human cousins?
