What if some of your quirks — from your sleep habits to your immune system — didn’t come from you at all, but from another kind of human entirely? Recent discoveries in ancient DNA have revealed something astonishing: almost everyone alive today still carries a small piece of Neanderthal DNA — and it’s doing more than you think.

In this episode, we uncover 8 strange and surprising traits that modern humans inherited from Neanderthals. From our pain tolerance and hair texture to our emotional responses and resistance to disease, these ancient genes continue to shape how we live, feel, and even think today.

Discover:

• How interbreeding with Neanderthals changed the human genome forever.
• The physical and behavioral traits still influenced by Neanderthal DNA.
• Why some populations carry more Neanderthal ancestry than others.
• What these ancient connections reveal about evolution — and us.
