Neanderthal Extinction From Homo Sapiens Blood Condition
This ironic thesis emerged from an important discovery made by a team of genetic scientists from the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and Aix-Marseille University in France. These scientists analyzed the blood types of three Neanderthals, whose DNA had been successfully recovered and sequenced from fossilized bone samples. These Neanderthals did not live together but were born at different times and at different places.
Despite not being related to each other, the scientist found that these individuals carried a genetic variant in their blood that would have made them highly vulnerable to a blood disorder known as “hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn,” or HDFN. This condition develops in expectant mothers, and when it does it can be fatal to a fetus or newborn infant.
