Neanderthal DNA helped us fight RNA viruses — but a new genomic study finds it’s linked to higher loads of persistent DNA viruses like EBV in people today. One ancient haplotype has been declining in frequency for 10,000 years. Evolution catching up. #NeanderthalDNA #HumanEvolution #Archaeogenomics
The Neanderthal Immune System Was Not Built for EBV
Archaic DNA that once helped us fight RNA viruses appears to leave carriers more vulnerable to a different class of persistent pathogens — and the genome is slowly cleaning it up.

The Strongest Selection Signal in the Andean Genome Isn’t About Altitude
A new genomic study finds that copy number variation in a salivary amylase gene rose rapidly in Peruvian Quechua populations beginning around the time potatoes were first domesticated.
