Currently, methods used to detect the Neanderthal genes within the human genome use a pattern of linkage disequilibrium or direct comparison to Neanderthal genomes.

The project found that only 1.5 to 7 percent of the modern human genome is uniquely human.

In the study, the team also found evidence of multiple bursts of adaptive changes specific to modern humans within the past 600,000 years.

The scientists note in their study that archaeological evidence has reported human remains with many modern features but featuring archaic cranial morphology.
