The study suggests that Neanderthals organized in smaller, more isolated groups, while early modern humans maintained broader social connections, which may have contributed to their survival. This genome is from a distinct lineage of late Neanderthals, adding new information to the complex history of the species. Photo: Xavier Muth.

There’s an ugly history of proponents of eugenics , who believe in reshaping humanity by breeding “superior traits” and removing “inferior traits,” justifying their thinking with genetics. There is also an enormous shortcoming in the datasets used for this research: Virtually all are built with DNA from people of European ancestry.
