This video challenges the prevailing narrative surrounding neanderthal dna, which has often portrayed them as genetically impoverished. We examine how a single metric has led to a misunderstanding of their true genetic diversity. This discussion offers a fresh perspective on population genetics and the concept of inbreeding in prehistoric humans, highlighting the complexities of ancient humans.
