Scientists Sequenced the DNA of the ‘Last Neanderthal’—and It Alters Human History Discovery: In 2015, a jaw fragment of a 42,000-year-old Neanderthal, named Thorin, was found in France, leading to further discoveries of its remains. Isolation: Thorin's lineage remained genetically isolated from other Neanderthals for 50 millennia, despite proximity to other groups. Implications: This finding challenges existing theories about Neanderthal extinction and suggests a need to rethink human evolution. “Everything must be rewritten about the greatest extinction in humanity and our understanding of this incredible process that will lead Homo sapiens to remain the only survival of humanity,” Slimak said in assessing what this discovery means. “How can we imagine populations that lived for 50 millennia in isolation while they are only two weeks’ walk from each other? All processes need to be rethought.” Scientists Sequenced the DNA of the ‘Last Neanderthal’—and It Alters Human History
