Pääbo's research helped reveal gene flow between Neanderthals and what?

Modern Birds
Early Humans
Dinosaurs
Amphibians

Answer

Neanderthals interbred with early humans, contributing to the genetic makeup of modern humans outside Africa. This interbreeding occurred as early humans migrated out of Africa and encountered Neanderthal populations in Eurasia. The genetic legacy of Neanderthals can still be detected in the DNA of present-day humans, particularly in regions outside Africa.
