Genetic diversity of late Neanderthals in northwestern Europe

Nature, Published online: 24 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10625-1

Genetic sequencing of multiple late Neanderthals living less than 52,500 years ago provides an overview of genetic diversity and demonstrates that even low-coverage nuclear genome data can increase resolution of within-Neanderthal diversity.
