Even genes related to the shape of tall noses can betraced backto our nearest human cousins.
TheSciencestudy investigated more than 300 genomes from the last 50,000 years of human evolution.
59 genomes belong to ancient individuals who lived between 2,200 and 45,000 years ago.

The research indicated that humans inherited Neanderthal genes related to skin color, immune response, and metabolism.
Its quite an interesting coincidence, but it could be the explanation.
Of course it remains a hypothesis for the moment.
Neanderthals disappear from the fossil record around 39,000 years agoshortly after the interbreeding events pointed to by theScienceandNaturepapers.
These are not really two species, theyre two groups, Moorjani said.
The differences that we imagine to be quite big between these groups were actually quite small, genetically.
We were far more similar than we were different.
