You sit in the hospital room that carelessly is trying to look like someone’s bedroom, but lacking the personality exhausted, and slumped from the long never ending night. You look over to your right and cannot help to let a sheepish smile fall on your face as you watch your family admiring the new bundle of joy in your life. You fall back into sleep with the conversations of “Oh, she got her mom 's nose!”, “look at that bright red hair, she got that from grandma!”, echoing in the background. `
When you have a baby, you seem to always hear friends and family saying these cliché lines. We place these traits we inherit from a generation to two generations ago; although have we ever stopped to think where did we actually get all these traits …show more content…
While the term cave man came around due to them finding bones in caves and assuming they lived in caves; studies from “Researchers from the Muséum National histories Naturelle in Paris said it suggests the early human ancestors settled in areas where they built structures to live for extended periods of time” (Buckland). These researchers have found evidence that Neanderthals hunted mammoths and used their bones to create circular houses. Neanderthals would wrap and tie animal hide on themselves and that would be considered what they wore for clothes, they also used fire for warmth, cook food, and used it for …show more content…
With this being said, Capra also believes that sun exposure influences depression risk so there is a link between the Neanderthal variants and mood disorders to the adapting to new climates (Yong). Type 2 Diabetes is a more common form of the disease that roughly ninety to ninety-five percent of diabetes caused in humans (Choi). A research team known as SIGMA investigated the largest and most comprehensive genetic study of Type 2 Diabetes and discovered a risk gene known as SLC16A11, that had gone undetected in previous research.
With the research the cause of the odd pattern of SLC6A11 they needed to start back to the roots. Investigating ancient human DNA, they found the mutation in the gene was inherited from Neanderthals. With the inbreeding of Neanderthals and modern humans that suggest about 1.5 percent to 2.1 percent of the DNA was living outside of Africa, making it an uncommon to find in modern Africans today. With these finding José Florez, study co-author from the Broad Institute and Harvard Medical School, said in a statement, “a new pathway to target with drugs and a deeper understanding of the
