RPTN is one of the genes that differ between present-day humans and neandertals.

William Golding's 1955 novel The Inheritors follows a group of Neanderthals towards the end of their era, showing their interactions with early present-day humans (but from the Neanderthals' viewpoint).

The event is potluck and alcohol-free - present-day humans are bringing things like brownies.

The state of Terranian technology was such that I was not able to offer much more to its science, although the earlier ancestors of present-day humans had once revered me as a demigod.

Among his findings, he says, is the likelihood that genes from Neanderthals and other species live on in present-day humans.

For all practical purposes, it becomes obvious that all present-day humans are the descendants of the entire race.

Among the genes shown to differ between present-day humans and Neanderthals were RPTN, SPAG17, CAN15, TTF1 and PCD16.

A16 Roots of Human Family Tree An American scientist says he has evidence suggesting that the genes of Neanderthals and other species live on in present-day humans.

It is estimated that 70% of the "parasite" species reported from present-day humans are actually only incidental parasites.

(It is noteworthy, though, that Neanderthals, an extinct subspecies of modern humans, had larger brains at adulthood than present-day humans.)
