Article Synopsis
- Facial morphology is a complex genetic trait that is important for evolutionary studies, but fossil evidence for ancient humans like Neanderthals and Denisovans is limited.
- A large-scale study of 9674 East Asians and 10,115 Europeans identified 71 genetic loci linked to facial features and developed a predictive tool called the facial polygenic score (FPS).
- By applying the FPS to ancient DNA, researchers found that Neanderthals and Denisovans likely had similar facial features, contributing to our understanding of human evolutionary history.
