Neanderthal Blood Protein Incompatibilities May Have Contributed to Extinction
- Thursday January 30, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Research indicates that genetic differences in Neanderthal blood proteins may have played a role in their extinction. Scientists discovered that Neanderthals had a rare RhD blood type, which was incompatible with the blood types of Denisovans and Homo sapiens. This incompatibility could have led to hemolytic disease in mixed-species offspring, resu...

Evolution Might be Happening 4 Times Faster Than What Charles Darwin Had Predicted: Study
- Monday May 30, 2022
- Edited by Gadgets 360 Newsdesk
A new research suggests that the Darwinian evolution could be happening up to four times faster than previously thought. Based on an analysis of genetic variation, the researchers state evolution can happen faster if there are more genetic differences in a species. This is because certain traits die off and stronger ones get established. The study ...
