eager to learn more about neanderthal and denisovan-derived DNA in general. and what about the "ghost-species" DNA that shows up in sub-saharan people? It's so nice to know that Homo sapiens is a hybrid species... we're all fertile mules! 😅

Yes, that ghost species is intriguing!

Man, I knew I was a Neanderthal the whole time

Welcome to Bluesky, Emily :)

Thank you! :)

Wow this is some serious interesting research🤩 It blows my mind to read about this

We think it's pretty cool-- but then we're kinda biased! 😉

that makes sense honestly, i cant explain it in a smart way but i can explain it in an "i definitely have neanderthal atoms in my brain" way

I like your way better. 😂

Wtf Autistic cavemen then down syndrome in historical times I don't know if it is ethical to cure if someone had it in the past

Cures de autism

This is to understand better what makes autism tick. This isn’t about curing. And a lot of these variants are in non-auties too, so this can’t be used for eugenics.
