Comment on "Human TKTL1 implies greater neurogenesis in frontal neocortex of modern humans than Neanderthals"

Pinson . ( ) concluded that the modern human gene is responsible for an increased number of cortical neurons. We show that the "putative Neanderthal variant" of is present in modern human backgrounds. We dispute their argument that this genetic variant is responsible for brain differences...

Zusammenfassung:Pinson . ( ) concluded that the modern human gene is responsible for an increased number of cortical neurons. We show that the "putative Neanderthal variant" of is present in modern human backgrounds. We dispute their argument that this genetic variant is responsible for brain differences in modern humans as opposed to Neanderthals.
