Neanderthal genome sequencing : A genetic research study / Neandertal genom sekvensering : En genetisk forskningsstudieUhr, Susanna January 2023 (has links)
The aim of this study is to provide information regarding the development of aDNA research. The essay also strives to distinguish eventual impact on previous and contemporary conceptions concerning Neanderthal and modern human genetic divergence and possible interbreeding between the two species. Relatively recent Neanderthal genetic research will provide a glimpse into future explorations. Hominin species, other than Neanderthals, will be excluded from this paper as well as morphological studies and modern human evolution theories. Nature, Cell, Science, American anthropologist are examples of important publications constituting the study’s source material generated through the mandatory literature search. Genetic data results reveal genetic divergence between Neanderthals and modern humans approximately around 270 000 to 440 000 years ago or 550 000 to 765 000 years ago. The estimations for genetic divergence continue to alter with the advent of additional data. Contemporaneous genomic data results show interbreeding between Neanderthals and modern humans which contradict some prior perceptions surrounding the subject. New engendered Neanderthal genomic data indicate further exploration concerning the Neanderthal inherited genes effect on modern day human biology and physiology. / Syftet med denna studie är att delge informativ upplysning kring utvecklingen av aDNA forskning. Uppsatsen strävar även efter att urskilja eventuell påverkan på föregående och nuvarande uppfattningar angående genetisk splittring mellan Neandertalare och moderna människor och möjlig korsning mellan de två arterna. Relativt ny genetisk Neandertal forskning kommer att ge en inblick i framtida utforskningar. Andra homininer, undantagsvis för Neandertalarna, kommer att exkluderad från denna uppsats liksom morfologiska studier och teorier kring den moderna människans evolution. Nature, Cell, Science, American anthropologist är exempel på viktiga publiceringar som utgör studiens källmaterial vilket genererats genom den obligatoriska litteratursökningen. Genetiska data resultat visar genetisk splittring mellan Neandertalare och moderna människor proximalt kring 270 000 till 440 000 år sedan eller 550 000 till 765 000 år sedan. Beräkningarna för genetisk splittring ändras kontinuerligt på grund av ankomsten av nytillkommande data. Nya genomiska data resultat visar korsning mellan Neandertalare och moderna människor vilket motsäger en del föregående föreställningar kring ämnet. Ny framställd Neandertal genomiska data indikerar vidare utforskning av de ärvda Neandertal genernas möjliga påverkan på den moderna människans biologi och fysiologi.

Gemensamma Symboliska Beteenden Och Interaktioner Mellan Neanderthalare Och H. SapiensKarlsson, Julia January 2022 (has links)
The behaviours that the Neanderthals and Homo sapiens sapiens had in common could have made their interaction more advanced and deeper. Ever since Richard E. Green et al’s discovery in 2010 that a lot of the modern day population have inherited about 1-4 % of the genome from Neanderthals, the assumption that Neanderthals are primitive beings lacking advanced cognition has changed. For H. Sapiens to interbreed with Neanderthals one could argue that they could not have been that dissimilar. Since the modern day population inherited parts of the Neanderthals it could be very interesting to bring more insight into how their relationship and interaction would have looked in relation to H. Sapiens. In this thesis some behaviours will be analysed and compared that existed among them both. In this remark it will be about behaviors of a symbolic nature, indicating a more advanced thinking. These are the usage of personal ornaments, the burial practice, and lastly language and speech. The personal ornaments they used are in some instances very similar, but there is also variation in what they put value in as personal ornaments, later H. Sapiens put a lot of energy into making beads of different types, and Neanderthals having a focus on birds of prey. The burial practice is in general nothing that is too common among either of them during the middle palaeolithic or African Middle stone age. Before the upper palaeolithic there is not too much evidence indicating that they had a tradition of burying their dead. In cases they did bury their dead there is evidence of places with multiple burials, maybe working as grave centers. The anatomical capacities for speech existed among them both. When it comes to language it is harder to discern, since it does not fossilise, but since language is symbolic it could be argued that evidence of symbolism among them could indicate that they had language as well. In the discussion and conclusions it is argued that these common behaviours could have made it possible for a more advanced interaction and relationship between the two.
