Around 45,000 years ago, individuals from Ranis in Germany and Zlatý kůň in Czechia likely traveled together across the open steppe landscapes of Europe.When modern humans first ventured out of Africa, they followed in the footsteps of another human species who dared leave before them.A new genetic analysis of the earliest known modern human remains found in Ranis in Germany and Zlatý kůň in the Czech Republic suggests emigrantmingled some time between 45,000 and 49,000 years ago.
"The Neanderthal DNA they carry could therefore have been introduced by a separate event from that which introduced the Neanderthal DNA identified in all present-day Out-of-Africa populations." The team were able to extract high quality ancient DNA from one of the 13 individuals from Ranis, along with the one individual Zlatý kůň from Czechia.
