Happy International Women's Day! Despite the efforts, while much more women enter scientific fields, due to numerous factors, few manage to remain in the field or secure senior positions. Support your coworkers, call out harmful systemic behaviour. 😘

The problem with this headline is that it posits humanity only existing in a European context...as if there weren't humans already living and continuing to live in Africa prior to and after this period regardless of their interactions with Neandertals and other out of Africa populations
Humans may not have survived without Neanderthals

“In fact, Neanderthal genes may have been crucial to our success by protecting us from new diseases we hadn't previously encountered.”

Humans may not have survived without Neanderthals
A new DNA analysis has shown that the arrival of modern humans from Africa was far from smooth.
