Multiple Choice
What did Richard Green et al. conclude from their study about interbreeding between Neanderthals and modern humans?
A) They found that genomes of African humans do not contain Neanderthal-derived DNA, indicating that Neanderthals did not interbreed with modern humans after moving out of Africa.
B) They found that genomes of African humans do not contain Neanderthal-derived DNA, but 1% to 4% of the genome of typical non-African humans is derived from Neanderthals, indicating interbreeding.
C) They found that genomes of African humans contain 1% to 4% Neanderthal DNA, indicating that Neanderthal speciation occurred after humans left Africa and there was no interbreeding with modern humans.
D) They found no distinguishing differences in African and non-African DNA comparisons, indicating that Neanderthals were simply a phenotypically different population of modern humans and should not be considered a separate species.
