Archaeologists discovered the remains of the first family of Neanderthal in a cave in southern Siberia in Russia, where researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany analyzed the DNA of 13 members of two caves in the Siberian Altai Mountains.
For the first time, a father and his teenage daughter, as well as two second-class relatives, were discovered in the almost 59,000-year-old Chaujerskaya cave.
This pattern is the first known description of the social organization of a small community of Niardetal, the first author of the study, Loretes Scove, said according to the Daily Mail website: “The fact that they were living together at the same time is very exciting, so, for the first time, we can use genetics to study The social organization of the community of the human Nyardal. ”
Between 430,000 and 40,000 years ago, the Nandartal people, who are closely related to modern man, inhabited West Eurasia.
Before moving across Europe around 300,000 years ago and later joining people who entered Eurasia around 48,000 years ago, the first strains in Africa had coexisted with the earliest people for thousands of years.
The Denisovan cave site, where the remains of Denisovan’s human being were discovered, was a very fertile location for ancient DNA studies on the early races of humanity.
The Denisovan individual is a different early human population that originated in Asia at least 80,000 years ago and was closely related to Neanderthals.
The recent investigation focused on the remains found in the Caféskaya and Oakladnikov caves, which are both located roughly 60 miles (100 km) from Denisovan’s cave.
The oldest Neanderthal family have been found in Russia, dating back 59 thousand years.
