Introgression from Neandertal and Denisovan relatives in our past has resulted in many humans around the world having alleles derived from these extinct ancestors. Describe one allele attributed to Neandertals and one allele attributed to Denisovans in humans today. For your descriptions, include the role of the gene(s) that the allele is(are) linked to, what benefit or feature they are proposed to contribute to, and the population(s) that carry the allele. A Denisovan or Neandertal haplotype would also be suitable.

Human Evolution

Human evolution is the process of evolution of humans from early man to anatomically modern humans. The process of evolution in humans leads to the gradual development of traits like bipedalism. Humans are the highly social animals that make them the most advanced animal on Earth.  Human evolution is an outcome of interaction among the following processes:
