Question

The plots above show the distribution of SNP alleles similar to Neanderthal genomes, in two ancient human genomes, A (left)  and B (right).  They were isolated from bone fragments, between 42,000 and 45,000 years old, found in Romania and Bulgaria.  The mitochondrial DNA from both individuals was also sequenced, and was wholly similar to that of modern humans, not Neanderthals.  Which of the following statements is NOT consistent with these data?

 

 

Question 2 options:

 

A) 

The maternal grandmother of individual A was Neanderthal.

 

B) 

Individual A had more recent Neanderthal ancestors than individual B.

 

C) 

Some modern humans and Neanderthals interbred, about 45,000 years ago.

 

D) 

The common ancestors of Neanderthals and all modern humans lived over 800,000 years ago.
