Neanderthal genome will unlock secrets of human evolution

The genetic code of Neanderthal Man has been pieced together from DNA recovered from ancient fossils, providing insights into evolution that promise to reveal many of the genes that make us human. "Studying the Neanderthals and studying the Neanderthal genome will tell us what makes modern humans really human, why we are alone, why we have these amazing capabilities,” said Jean-Jacques Hublin, of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology.
